Honestly, would A Charlie Brown Christmas *really* sound that much better? I suspect not. I'm all for the best quality possible, but in some cases it's simply not worth getting heated over.
Everything sounds better.

Really.

Take a 100 year old edison phonograph recording and transfer it to 24-bit 96kHz linear PCM. That sounds pretty much identical to the original recording. Now downconvert to lossy Dolby at 192. It sounds anemic by comparison... yes... even when we're talking about a frequency-limited hiss-filled recording.

Since it's no harder, and no more expensive to put lossy on the disc, it should always be there. PERIOD.

It's not a question that would.. it's a question that can. There's no loss of space of anything that prevent them of not offering it. i think the feature is 13gig worth ...
Exactly.
