Line 3:

Encoding into a lossy compression format will strip details from the file. Transcoding from one lossy compression format to another will compound the loss of details from the file. (eg: transcoding a sound file from [[OGG Vorbis]] to [[MP3]]). The preferred method is to save all audio "masters" in a lossless audio format such as [[FLAC]] or [[WavPack]], and then transcode directly from the lossless source file to your preferred lossy format such as [[MP3]]. This procedure preserves as much of the original audio signal as possible and prevents compound loss of details from the file.

<i>''Note:</i>'' The transcoded signals, <i>''i.e.,</i>'' the digital representations of analog signals may be any digital representation of any [[analog signal]], such as voice, [[facsimile]], or quasi-analog signals.
