I've always wanted to know whether there is any true quality loss in the
following circumstances:

1. * I burn a 192 kbps mp3 file to CD as a .wav file so that it can play on
a CD player. *If I re-create an mp3 file at 192 kbps from that same CD, is
there any quality loss?

2. * I open a 192 kbps mp3 file in Soundforge to edit. *Soundforge creates a
temporary file for editing. *Once I edit the file, I save the new file as a
a 192 kbps mp3 file. *Is there any quality loss in this process?

3. *I run a 192 kbps mp3 file through a normalizing program like Mptrim. *If
the program makes changes to the file, such as eliminating silence at the
beginning of the file and normalizing the volume, is there any quality loss?

4. *When zipping and unzipping mp3 files in Winzip and WinRar, is there any
quality loss?

Thanks

Why would you ZIP up or RAR down a compressed audio file anyway?

Well, maybe you want to stuff a bunch of them into one file. Simpler
to ftp or something. Just a thought. Agreed, you're not going to get
any further space reduction.
