No lossless sound for Xbox 360 Elite system

That's not true at all. The difference is that an MP3 decodes on the fly. The data is decompressed into a buffer rather then on to the HDD such as with a zip. I suggest you read up on FLAC. it's a lossless audio codec. Or MLP Meridian Lossless Packing. It's all about the math used. Lossless codecs compress based on math. Lossey compress by math and by cuting audio outside of a certain spectrum.

My point was alittle unclear. What i ment was that MP3 doesnt decompress the music like Winzip, if source was 50MB you dont need 50MB free HDD or RAM to play it. When i play a VBR (variable bitrate) MP3 in Winamp it only uses 500KB of RAM. The file still stays 4MB. Ye, all computer stuff is basicly based on math. But tnx for the info on FLAC. Thats what i asked for, if it was possible to maintain a 1:1 ration of quality and compress it. Seems like FLAC does it
