Is the Digital Music Revolution Really Ruining Sound Quality?

It seems like every advance in digital music brings with it a debate about
whether the latest format degrades quality in exchange for convenience. This
was true when CDs first came onto the scene, and it's probably even more
true today with MP3s and their digital audio brethren. Heck, even the advent
of the gramophone in 1889 sparked debates over whether its sound quality was
worse than Thomas Edison's phonograph.

Last week, rock veteran Neil Young chimed in with his assertion that the
digital music files we listen to today are of much lower quality than the
original recordings. Speaking at the D: Dive Into Media conference, he said
that the technology now exists to deliver much higher-quality audio to music
fans, and that he had even talked to Steve Jobs about a possible solution.
