This category includes recordings that are lossy but have been re-encoded into lossless formats, such as FLAC Level 8. There is confusion 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.
  • Traditional FM broadcast captures, including those recorded in LP Mode, are not included in this category. FM broadcasts have an inherently limited frequency response and even 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.
