Again many thanks for your work!
But original audio file has only 192 kb/s, so it's lossy and it will be lossy even if you convert it to flac.

it's very hard to further degrade of quality this kind of audio files so there is no even 1 reason to keep this file as huge "lossless" files. no everyone uderstand this problem and no everyone can check quality of these files.
sharing this recording as lossless files it is very bad idea

Can anybody point me at the clip used to patch the beginning of SFTD? Please?

The point of converting to flac is not to try to improve the quality (we do know that's not possible), but to stop the quality from being degraded even further.

Actually it would be further degraded for someone encoding that "Lossy FLAC" to mp3 for use on a portable player, whereas it would not be degraded further if they used the straight rip available here : [www.iorr.org]

There is a freeware tool to cut mp3s WITHOUT reencoding, see vox12string's above, tested and approved.

.. audio from video was extracted as WAV file, and because everything over 16 kHz was cut off i converted it to mp3 and bitrate 192 kbps ..

Say I start out with an mp3 encoded at 192 bits, I then edit it & then save as high as 320bits, I'm not upgrading, I'm making an mp3 of an mp3, hence I'm losing quality. Re-encode an mp3 4-5 times & it sounds awful, I tried it out ages ago as an experiment
To get around this you first convert the mp3 into a wav file & you can then do anything to that wav & it will not lose quality as long as it stays a wav or as some compressed lossless form like flac (Anyone remember SHN, they were the go in the early days of lossless audio)

The original point remains, someone downloading that "remastered" FLAC for listening on their portable device (and who doesn't these days), on top of wasting their time downloading large lossy files on FileFactory, is going to end up with worse quality than if he'd downloaded the original MP3 version and played that on his portable device.
