In Reply to: 'So in practice it's quite possible that Apple lossless is not truly lossless.' posted by Lynn on February 13, 2006 at 17:36:45:
>>However, given the simplicity of testing the core functionality of
compress/decompress logic (simple file compares that can be automated to
support regression testing of hundreds or even thousands of sample files), and given the resources of the Apple organization, it is very unlikely such an error exists.<<Look, I agree it's not all that likely. Yet I have a bit less faith in Apple than you do. Given the fact that very few people would even notice, how many of those vast resources would Apple dedicate to fixing such a problem? If it ain't broke (from a marketing standpoint) don't fix it. How many people would notice what Todd noticed, even if it's real (who kows?). And if the number of customers who care is vanishingly small, why fix it?
