The conclusion of the article points to the alleged negative effect of metadata, especially the size and compression of cover art, on a file that is converted numerous times from WAV to FLAC and back again. What they are suggesting is that one should rather do these kinds of conversions without any metadata and add fresh metadata with reasonably small and uncompressed cover art to the final file. They are further speculating about the (unknown) effect of this metadata "degradation" on FLAC files that are being distributed on-line. I am not defending their findings, merely pointing out what they are claiming.</p></blockquote><p></p>
