It would be VERY interesting to survey all of the customers of a major service that uses lossy compression - like iTunes.
I would be curious to know how many of their customers are actually convinced that the lossy compressed music they're listening to is "indistinguishable from CD quality"...
And how many would say that, even though they personally don't care much either way, they just assume, or are outright convinced, that the CD really is a little bit better...
And, for that matter, it would be interesting to find out how many assume that vinyl is still better than both...
.
why would this be interesting? It's not a revelation that basically un-informed people buy into the notion that "lossy" is worse than "lossless." Really that's exactly what many of us are contending. They are believing what the salespeople tell them...
