The reason I would want to know the source has to do with the swapping of certain unofficial recordings that only circulate amongst fans. Many have understood the responsibility they have to the trading community, and have diligently performed lossless only transfers when sending this material to others. Some fans, however, have not been so kind, and have tainted the trasing pool with various lossy-sourced material and passed it off as the real thing.

A program that can reliably confirm my suspicion that a certain recording was indeed compressed to mp3 can help me remove it from the trading pool and hopefully support lossless only.

I am not afraid of potentially copied CDs, much less ones that have been generated from lossy sources....I think that's a bit of an extreme fear, and certainly not as prevalent as the need to track unofficial recordings.
