this is simply NOT TRUE. I convert between lossy formats all the time. I like to listen to 320kbps MP3 at work, but have trouble fitting them on floppies, so I encode them at 64kbps and then when I get to work, I RE-ENCODE them to 320 kbps. It's a brilliant trick, and I'm suprosed more people don't do it. I must say, however, I expected the sound quality of 320 kbps mp3 to be better than it is...
