subject: 128kbps is not cd quality

Hi Jason (of 1:229/658),

MP3 compression is not the same as the regular compression of typical data
files.  MP3 audio compression is LOSSY; inotherwords, some audio data is
permanently removed and therefore this cannot represent "cd
quality".  You can prove it to yourself by trying to "save"
an 128kbps  MP3 file back to an original 10-time size 1411kbps "cd
quality" file and have the EXACT same file - the simple answer is that
it cannot be done.
