It's actually a bit more complex than just lossy or losless. Depends on the exact encoder which is used (Fraunhofer MP3 or Lame MP3 makes a big difference, also AAC is a step up), the bitrate and other factors.

QuoteBig Al There will undoubtedly be some of their fans from the 60’s who think it silly that they’re still belting-out hits from yesteryear; from their youth that is long gone. From my experience those are usually the people who got fat and grumpy with age and are jealous that Mick is still wiggling his ass at 80.

Guys, this is an album recorded in 2023 and Mick wanted it to sound like it was recorded and mixed in 2023. If you want an album to sound like 2023 then having it a bit brickwalled and compressed is part of its sonic identity. Its another thing if an old recording gets remastered and compressed some decades after it was recorded but this album was meant to sound like that. If you like it or n

It's always fascinating to me how one little moment like that can have an impact that changes the world. Yes, the butterfly effect comes to mind. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Mick and Keith met today, would they be able to have such an impact on the music industry again? Would they play pop music right next to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran? Or could their magic only work at th
