Apple Launching Lossless Music Subscription Service?

Lossless is not possible. Close if masters were digital, but analog masters, NO way. Just my opinion...

Huh? It is trivially easy to make a bit perfect copy of any digital file, and that's the definition of "lossless."

As for making a digital copy of an analog master: I encourage you to experiment for yourself sometime. Many have been surprised by the results.

If you think it's possible to make a bit perfect copy trivially, I'm happy for you. If you take a look at all of the raw data of both D to D files, some bits are corrupt. I have experimented with A to D, not to say it's bad at all, very good, just not lossless.

If you’re unable to easily make bit perfect copies of digital files, then something is seriously wrong with your computer and/or other equipment. Maybe we can help if you tell us what hardware and software is giving you trouble.

The trouble you’re having with digital may also be part of the issues you’re having with A/D.

It is possible to make a digital file of an analog recording that will be identical to the original in an A-B test. Period.

cleeds - Thanks for your offer to help, I will contact you off of this thread. I haven't been able to achieve a perfect duplicate.
