RE: Adversarial, really? RE: The procedure... RE: You would have to buy a CD(s), if I understand you correctly.

MP3 compression at 320 kbps has a marginal benefit, even if it were audibly transparent. There is not a 4 to 1 reduction. It's much closer to a 2 to 1 reduction, considering that the original could have been compressed nearly 50% using lossless compression (e.g. FLAC).

IMO, it's not worthwhile arguing about such a small benefit or even taking the time to conduct experiments. The time and effort spent on these would be better spent purchasing additional storage capacity. Or, better, doing additional research in lossless compression. There are some new algorithms that get to beyond 50% compression losslessly on most material. I forgot the name, but there is discussion on HA.
