WMA lossless is PCM with basic compression like RAR/etc., so that
would not add any loss of quality (the stream itself was presumably
compressed, though, so they will be second-generation MP3s, in
effect).

Most would use VBR, rather than a high constant bit rate. You'd have
to see for yourself whether your ears could perceive a difference,
with your own equipment, between one bit rate and another.

Leviticus 15:28-30, "When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must
count off seven days ... On the eighth day she must take two doves or
two young pigeons and bring them to the priest ... In this way he will
make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her
discharge."
Yeah, I'd trust that ancient, power-drunk Jew's (Moses) word for what
God said about homosexuals. Sounds logical.
