Anyone old enough to remember dot matrix printers? Before them, printing looked great. After them, printing looks great. They were a brief dark ages. How pathetic would it be to learn that your dad had a valuable library of books, paid someone to type each one into a computer, printed them out dot matrix, and threw out the books and the computer files?
In a few short years there will be no incentive to worry about the difference in file lengths, and advances in playback equipment will make it easy to hear the differences. Already, 200 GB hard disks can be had for $80 if you know where to shop. Anyone digitizing their CD collection would be making a giant mistake not to go lossless, then convert to a "working" lossy format for today's compromise players.
Old enough to have seen a few generations of these issues. I can hear it. Denial ain't a river in Africa.
