What would the use exactly be of degrading quality of uncompressed audio?

Yeah but why would someone want to do that ? I like to listen to the best quality files possible, but maybe I am alone in that
or is this for nostagists of oldschool radio and vinyl lovers  l

Cheers, David. nope, interested why there is such thing like LossyWav, it sounded a bit like the equivalent of PuregoldImpurifier to me |

A silly question, because I didn't really think about using lossywav before.
SInce I sometimes digitize vinyls, I thought of using lossywav on the wave files. Vinyls have lower S/N ratio than CDs, so is using lossywav on vinyls OK? Noise level introduced will still be lower than the hum and rumble from vinyls? This post has been edited by hlloyge: Mar 5 2011, 13:35 |

Should be - I would suggest using at least --standard, if not --extreme for this as it is a master copy.
-------------------- lossyWAV -q X | FLAC -8 ~= 308kbps
SGS III (Rooted) + 64GB |

I've used Lossywav on loads of vinyl. Works a treat. There's no noticeable additional noise introduced if that's what's worrying you.
