CDs sounds much better than most mp3. I mean you can get mostly lossless compression that is worth using but CDs are just awesome and still likely to be the OG source.

.FLAC would like a word with you. I was only using mp3 as a stand in for "digital file". There are much better file formats than what you find on a CD.

Both CDs and FLAC are lossless. Flac is just compressed while CDs are uncompressed.

CDs are lossless. It's the same thing as FLAC.

There was a point in my life where I would just copy the Redbook files directly off the disc. Nothing like folders of ~100MB .aiff files farting around on your hard drive (back when 80GB drives were expensive.)
