Yes. But in the case of CD-DA it is always uncompressed. That's why i
called it "quite a wasteful way of storing sound".

Whether thie counts as "lossless" in the sense of High Fidelity is a matter
of definition. A sampling rate of 44100 Hz for 16 bit gives just a rough
assessment of the physical phenomenon of sound. But human ears are even
rougher than that. So only the most die-hard audiophiles will complain.


Have a nice day :)
