: Actually a principle of a properly designed lossy CODEC is that if you
: compress audio and then decompress it and then compress it with the same
: CODEC with all the same settings, there should be no additional loss in
: sound quality.
That's what I thought, but I couldn't really find that information anywhere. Haven't looked that hard though. I've read in more than one place that you can circumvent the AAC protection by burning a CD then re-ripping it "however there will be some loss in quality". The loss in quality statement always bothered me b/c it seems that if you re-rip with the same codec and settings, it should sound the same. As you just said.
: The only real question you would have on the iTMS songs
: would be whether Apple is using any different settings for encoding than
: the default 128kbps iTunes settings (iTunes only lets you choose bitrate,
: it doesn't let you tweak any other settings).
Besides sample frequency and sample size, are there other settings to change?
