Question?

I know I asked this before but I have to ask again...

If I:

1. rip a mp3 to wav
2. then burn the wav to a cd
3. Then rip the cd file to a wav
4 . Then convert the wav to a mp3

will the quality be the same?

mp3 compression takes away from the audio a fair bit, so...
no.

He said "No."

Nope, you'll still lose a bit of quality each time...

Whereas you can in (theory at least) copy say, a .wav an
infinite number of times and it'll sound the same, switching
between formats always loses some quality.

Say you had a wav, mp3d it, turned it back to a wav, re-mp3d
it etc. for 100 times, it'd sound far worse than the
original MP3. Almost like tape recordings of other
recordings...

but if I burn a cd

the cdr is the same quality?

so could I burn the copy to make a second one, and a third
out of the 2nd and a 4th out of the third....? and the
cuality would be the same?

In reality, when you copy a CD there are always very slight
differences. However, these are so minor, they tend not to
be noticeable, even on a copy of a copy. In my post I was
refering to copying a .wav to another .wav (on the hard
disk). As soon as you add CD burning into the equation, the
loss in quality is more dramatic, but still minor compared
to say, tape duplication.

well, copying a raw format to raw format on the hard disk is
lossless - it's on the hard drive

copying to other formats will obviously have some data loss,
but a wav to wav, or aif to aif shouldn't - it should be
literal duplication

:)
