There was a discusion in here recently about how PC's are going to replace CD players, with many believing a PC offers superior playback and information retrieval compaired to a CD player.
What I am wondering is, if items such as lossless audio (FLAC) on average compress a typical CD from 700mb to 400mb, and in terms of bit rate, reduce the CD from 1411kbps to 850kpbs then is this not in itself a reduction in CD quality ?
It seems that the term lossless audio is a little missleading ? What other software do people use to burn their CD's to hard drive ?
