> It's called 'noise.'
Certain kinds of noise do enhance the sound. You see, nobody really knows
how the human brain interprets sound. Noise is likely a large part of it.
Therefore, many kinds of noise do help the sound. However, you can't just
simply ignore the significant errors that CDs produce. In fact, CD decoders
INSERT noise into sound and interpolate it to do something (don't remember
exactly what). Besides, when the laser can't read something off the disc,
the decoder interpolates and produces crap. Therefore, CDs are a very flawed
format.

Hey, the media will become obsolete after a while, and so will the formats.
If you constantly convert them to new formats, they will start looking screwy.
