Re: 'Unlike software, there are no precise data patterns in music. So I question whether "lossless" can truly be lossles

"Lossless formats will not change a single bit of data. This is very easy to prove (and has been proven and tested by many people over the years, including me)."

So I can take a non-compressed file, convert it to "lossless" compression, and then back to a non-compressed format, and the resultant data should be identical to that of the original non-compressed file. Is there a way I could personally try this?

But then again, even if the files can be restored exactly like the original, when playing lossless files, the conversion on-the-fly is likely to exacerbate jitter and add RFI.
