Q on MP3 Quality

[Sybs]

Hello to all on what seems to be a great forum/ I've enjoyed reading quite a few threads here, and now it's time to post.

There are two methods of data compression. Lossy, and Lossless.
Lossy is where most of the data is taken out and the most relevant data kept in place. MP3s are encoded in a lossy compressions algorithm. Basically, and MP3 is just the jist of a song from a cd. Things like hardly audible sounds and extra channels for surround sound perhaps, are taken out.
That's about the best way i can put it simply.

Lame is a standard codec for audio compression formats.
A codec is instructions on how to encode and decode a type of data or file.
The lame encoder program is what is normally used by many cd ripping programs to make MP3s.

Using K-MP3 ( http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?kmp3 ) is a good thing when dealing with audio files quality...

I would think about getting this. But, EAC is the best. And self promotion is the lame ...
