Don't forget MPC isn't lossless... monkeysaudio is, and so is LPAC the open
standard... if anyone in the industry is using mp3 for wave transport I'd
suggest immediately to move over to MPC (-insane quality) if not one of the
lossless formats.. once you put bad in you can't remove it.. of course
sometimes bad is good..

FOr me it was playback on a portable and my incar mp3 player that was
holding me back.. but high quality VBR mp3s (lame) were taking so long to
make and were growing so large that portable use was inpractical, even when
CDRs were used... so I took the jump.. and besides it good to experiment..
its all free.. and only your time is required :)
Check out
http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/gpsycho/quality.html
for a selection of waves that are very difficult to encode...
http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/fatboy.wav
is a clip from the fatboy slim track that I told you about.. its a good
track when encoding into an mp3 of anything less than 256k CBR that can be
used to test your hifi equipment.. my speakers blur the artefact so that you
can't hear it, my Sennheiser HD600 headphones tho bring it firmly into
view.. its horrible.. and through them phones still audible as I said at
320k/s ... mp3 just can't hack it...
hopefully it will be possible sooner than anyone

Any other format support would be nice but the masses using mp3 don't help..

MPC all the way :)
