When extracting audio from CDs, many basic applications will convert your audio files into the
mp3 alone. This may not be a problem for everyone but for those who'd prefer a higher quality format, MP3s are pretty limited. There are a number of different ways of compressing
audio and if you're a keen music fan, you may be more particular on how
audio is compressed. Although it may not be like listening to a record or even a CD, compressed files
are easier to manage and it's still possible to get reasonable audio
quality from compressed files. 14 Jul 2010
