Given the standardization of CD-Recordable drives in today’s computers, combined with prevalent desktop music software (e.g.: iTunes, etc…) which default to low KPS perceptual audio encoders, it has become increasingly common to find individuals creating/copying Audio CD’s that have gone through one (or more) lossy encoding stages, often without the user realizing that their audio data has been compromised.

This paper aims to raise awareness of the issue, provide information, and links to further resources in the interest of empowering the reader to determine if their Audio CD’s are really at the quality level of the CD Redbook standard.
