Hi. I appreciate the replies on my previous thread, "Bit Rate Converter," but I just wanted to know one more thing.
If I download music (MP3s) at a bit rate of 320kbps from a site that doesn't guarantee it's lossless but convert it with a "lossy to lossless audio format converter" will the music lose any information? Considering the fact that it wasn't downloaded in a lossless format, will a program that promises lossy file conversion do anything at all?
 
Thank You Very Much, A1811. (NO Cds Allowed Here)

320kbps already means it's not lossless. So converting it to lossless essentially only converts the format(most likely mp3 to flac). And in the process might also lose more information.

I really doubt you will lose any information, but you would not gain anything from it either. It's essentially making the file size bigger needlessly.
