I realize this

>>How is going from a high quality .wav file to mp3 any different then CDDA
>> to wav

I ment converting CDDA to mp3 or a hight quality wav to mp3

What I heard was basically taking a live recording that's a high quality
wav and converting it to MP3 is more lossy then going from a CD to MP3,
that to me is what didn't make sense.

I encode with r3mix (www.r3mix.net) and a 192VBR mp3 file.. I can't tell
the difference between that an the CD.
