I think you misunderstand. There's no particular problem with having a lossy codec -- it just means that some information is being discarded, but hopefully not very important information to the sound of the file. The problem comes when you take something that was compressed with one lossy algorithm, and convert it to a totally different one. Odds are good you'll end up with the worst effects of both. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
