Peder I listened to the Axel F. samples one after the other without "dissecting" the sound. I didn't hear a difference, that doesn't mean I wouldn't hear a difference by an ABX test or by listening to it focused and for two or three times instead just for one time. However, if there isn't really significant loss, it doesn't matter, if there is or if there isn't minimal loss, since the music anyway will sound different on different gear. Btw. I don't need a codec, it's just another layer that could cause issues, even if it shouldn't cause issues, there always is an additional risk. I simply store 48KHz WAV recordings. For my individual dealing with audio recordings I can't imagine why I ever should use MP3 or any other codec. I don't need data reduction, if I listen to audio recordings, than I do it "conscious", I never ever will take a walk and listen to music. When I take a walk I like the sense perception I get by nature or even by a mega city (I prefer nature to the city ;). So even if a codec that was bad yesterday, but might be ok to my taste today, should be available, I'm not interested, because it is something additional, that is completely useless for me, but ever additional layer does include an additional risk. FLAC is absolutely ok, it's lossless, but I don't use it, because there's no reason for me to use it.
