Deutsche Grammophon — Collection 101 Cd Box Set Ape

Deutsche Grammophon 111 Years - The Collector's Edition is often referred to in digital archiving circles as the "101 CD" set, though it actually consists of two volumes totaling

• MP3 (Lossy): Destroys hall ambience. The decay of a cymbal crash in a Mahler symphony becomes a digital "shimmer" of noise. MP3 is unacceptable for this box set.
• FLAC (Lossless): Excellent. Widely supported. Decompresses bit-perfectly to the original CD.
• APE (Lossless): Superior compression. An APE file of a 70-minute Bruckner symphony is often 50-100MB smaller than a FLAC file of the same track. For a 101-disc set (approx. 110 hours of music), APE can save nearly 20GB of storage space compared to FLAC, and 40GB compared to WAV.
