Well, not the first listen. But after MP3s aren't supported anymore and you have to convert it to another lossy format you might start hearing the difference. The point of lossless formats are that you actually own an original. That you have a copy you should be able to convert to anything else no matter what the market trends.
- josteink 9y ago> But after MP3s aren't supported anymore And how many decades from now do you expect that to be the situation?
- Sean1708 9y agoYou know what happened last time someone said that.
- josteink 9y agoNo. Please enlighten me :)
- Sean1708 9y agoY2k. I get what you're saying, MP3 is going to be around for a long time, but I really don't this whole craze of leaving future-proofing for the future is a good idea.
- josteink 9y agoModern Linux machines still ship with FS drivers for Amiga filesystems, and have software to play MOD-files from the early 90s, despite nobody creating new music in that sequencer-format any more. I think MP3 and us are going to be fine for quite a while. This is after, all not a bug that needs to be fixed. Basically I don't think about this is a "problem" and this I don't agree about the "pushing it ahead of us" metaphor.
- douche 9y agoI'm not sure that I care all that much when my original lossless source is some poor quality master tapes or vinyl that somebody has digitized from the 60s or 70s.
