MP3 was perceptually-aware lossy compression. How many people complain about it 20 years later

  First - I see that you don't have any audiophile friends! Many sound geeks dislike the sound of compressed audio. Second - there's nothing wrong with an AI 'enhancement' option. It seems useful! But you should admit what you are doing and have an off switch. Imagine if all of the studio masters for the past 20 years were actually in lossy mp3 because the hardware switched silently?

  The changes the AI makes are perceptually noticeable though when compared to source. No one complains about image or video compression either if the quality is good enough - because it’s not perceptually noticeable vs uncompressed; people can do A/B testing to be sure.

  MP3 doesn't claim it's lossless. Samsung claims they're not using a moon stamp.
