99% is a conservative estimate, the real number (in blind testing!) would be closer to 100%. In NO blind testing that has ever been undertaken could the testees differentiate between lossless and high-grade mp3.
And you're still wrong. If you obtain lossless, you can convert it without further loss to every format you desire (mp3, alac, m4p, ogg). When you're being forced to buy lossy, every further conversion will result in a loss of quality.
THAT's the point. If I have to pay almost as much as I would have had for the actual, physical CD (printed cover, pressed CD and all), THEN I WANT IT LOSSLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. I've done a few blind tests myself as close as possible. I couldn't tell the difference on headphones. Perhaps once I upgrade my speakers I might be able to but for now not so much.
I think the difference is you can't always trust that the mp3s are properly encoded. There are some instances where watermarks on the music degrade the sound in a way that is noticeable. If that same music is converted from CD to mp3 you can get it without watermarks.

Interesting. Perhaps it was originally intended for release on disc...

Funny how Robert Townson's name isn't on this one.
There are other people who work at that company...
