lossless encoding

I've gone back to using mp3 using the latest lame3 encoder set for a high variable bitrate, and set for the highest quality standard. The Music plays louder and cleaner than cda files, because the speakers aren't trying to produce multiple harmonics at the same time that a humans ears can't simultaneously distinguish anyway. Just another thing to think about. I don't understand this post. I thought that we had earlier established that Apple Lossless code-decode cycles were bit for bit identical to the original. Therefore, there is at least one truly lossless coder. I also understood that MLP was another. So are Flac, Ape, and Windows lossless -- -S "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." - James Madison (1788) So, Scott, would you like to explain what you mean by " To put it simply there are no truely lossless audio compression techniques. They all lose something in the reconstruction process." I don't mean this unkindly, just trying to find out if I've missed something. S. |

techniques. They all lose something in the reconstruction process. So, Scott, would you like to explain what you mean by " To put it simply there are no truely lossless audio compression techniques. They all lose something in the reconstruction process." I don't mean this unkindly, just trying to find out if I've missed something. I would like to ask the same question. Truly lossless compression and decompression of digital files is commonplace (look at ZIP for instance). I wonder if he is talking about something other than compression. |
