Perhaps better to say that there is some loss of quality when converting
from CD audio to AAC/MP3. Any loss of quality going *back* to CD audio
from AAC/MP3 is infinitessimal in comparison. Of course it won't be as
good as the original CD but the quality loss took place at the CD to
AAC/MP3 stage not really when going from the resultant AAC/MP3 back onto
a CD.
