| Well, the problem is that either way how you turn on the problem with compression you loose some kind og quality. I mean, even the most hardcore classical music people, claims that the old vinyl has better sound than the CD since of the limit of 16-bit audio. And I can sort of agree, since there is huge difference when 24-bit audio recording has been used for classic music instead of 16-bit recording. Ok, still then the 24-bit is cut down to 16-bit using compression algoritms, but it still sounds much better. |

No, you can use base conversion, dithering or plain bit rollof but not compression to convert to 16 But anyway as to the original question, lossless codecs only save 50% of the information at best, and therefore are not much used, the difference between 1 cdfull and 2 is not all that great in practice, not when hard disks are this cheap. sure, vynil still sounds better but at my local record store the only recent album available on vinyl that I am interested in was Kraftwerk's TdFS, funnily enough all the new rock bands that are going full retro in the recording process with old MCI and Studer taprecorders and mixing down to 1/2" are only issueing on CD's while a band that composes and records everything onto 3 laptops is the only one that is available on vinyl, funny, bizzare even. |

I recommend flac for OS/2 users because it is supported seamlessly by Darwin O'Connors multimedia codecs. As to Monkey Audio, I have no idea, if this is supported in OS/2. |
