Have any of you had any experience using MAC (monkey's audio compression)? http://www.monkeysaudio.com/ It's a lossless audio compression scheme, i.e. smaller than raw sound data, but not at all distorted like MP3s are; you can compress music and decompress it'll still be perfect quality. I don't understand why we all haven't switched over to lossless audio compression. MAC makes files that are much bigger than an MP3 would be, but it still gets about 50% compression, and disk space is less and less of an issue what with 200 GB hard drives and cheap CDRs and whatnot. Or is there some other advantage to lossy compression that I'm forgetting? I know there is hardware that specifically reads MP3s, but aside from that.
