Carlos .. there is no way a compressed file will make the files sound better than the original CD unless you personally like that compressed sound



I never said that. A compressed file will obviously not sound beter than ITS origial (if enough to be differentialble or not, that is another matter). So of course there is no way... except if you did some mastering on the way to the file to improve defects found on the original or better suit your ear's style/preferences, but thats not a consequence of compression either.

What I said is that you can have compressed files that sound better than some origials you buy at the store (not the compressed file's originals), I find this to be specially true with classical music. Or that playing originals in a factory stereo can sound worse than some good compressed files that are played in a better aftermarket stereo.
