This section includes recordings that are lossy but have been re-encoded in lossless formats, such as FLAC Level 8. There is controversy regarding which recordings should be classified as lossy. Here is a helpful chart:

Most recordings copied in LP Mode, while not necessarily lossy, are considered as such due to their reduced fidelity and limited frequency response, typically up to 16kHz.

FM broadcasts recorded in LP Mode are not included in this category because FM broadcasts inherently have a limited frequency response, and those recorded in LP mode typically have adequate sound quality.

MiniDisc recordings, although inherently lossy, are not included in this category; they are covered in their own section.
