    CDs are a near lossless perfect representation of the master--took us 100 years to figure this out. Only master tape to Vinyl avoids some form of compression. Every other format features some kind of compression. As storage costs decrease, this is less necessary but it's the tech we have. And I have yet to meet anyone that rips to RAW.

    Will that matter for most people? Probably not. But I do hear a difference on my Sony system when I play a CD vs streaming from iTunes via Airport Express or an iThingy. YMMV.

    Another way to say that would be "Every other DIGITAL format features some kind of compression."

    Are studios recording in lossless digital formats now?
