Has anyone here done a serious comparison between the sound of an iTunes
downloaded track burned to CD and a store-bought CD? What did you hear?
I have. They weren't iTunes, but they were mp3, wma and ATRAC recordings of
various compression ratios. Results?
On piano music, nobody could hear any difference at all between CD and
compressed recordings, even when compressed 50:1 !
Choral music suffered much more from compression. Anything greater than
10:1 was evident.
