Remember the old days using tapedecks and stuff ? 
Copying from tape to tape is rather comparable with recoding a already
compressed recording. Lossy compression after another lossy compression
reduces quality, as is mentioned on this list for a few dozen times already.

Good luck to the vorbis team, my ears seem to be bad to me, I still cannot
hear the differences between beta1 and beta3 ;-). Therefore this request,
does somebody know about a website that discusses things like pre-echo,
ringing and stereo errors so I can learn what to listen to ?

Thanx,

Merijn
