That's interesting, but I'm not sure what you mean by "compress". Do you mean data compression, or a compressing audio filter?
Web distribution (iTunes/etc.) files come from running the CD master through an AAC/MP3/etc. converter which does data compression only. But a 256Kbps/16bit/44.1KHz AAC (like you'd get from iTunes) is a lot higher quality than vinyl.

Data compression doesn’t make much sense here, because you usually use uncompressed audiofiles anywhere unless it goes to the web.
