I have read multiple sources that have done testing with lossless formats and in every case, when the data was uncompressed back to raw audio track it was exactly a bit for bit copy of what was on the CD.
In my travels I've come across many threads (pissing matches) about which compression software and/or techniques are better. Most of the discussions were way over-my-head technically. Maybe the whole discussion was bunk? That's when I decided to forget compression, even lossless. Nothing worse than ripping/compressing 200+ CDs only to find out something better exists and you're back at square one.
