Instead of mp3 and other quality-reducing lossy compressions, you can use [[lossless compression]] to save disk space, thereby keeping the full quality of the original audio data.

- maybe today, you, with current environment cannot hear the difference between 320kbps mp3 (lossy compressed) and wav (full quality).
- today: What about tomorrow?
- you: What about other people than you? (At least as DJ you should probably care about others)
- current environment: What about a different environment, e.g. new speakers, headphones ...?
- hear: What about effects on the human body, that one cannot hear, but are still there?
Some people also make edits and hence have to re-encode two, three or more times. Then the audio quality deteriorates which each re-encoding.
Instead of mp3 and other quality-reducing lossy compressions, you can use lossless compression to save disk space, thereby keeping the full quality of the original audio data. One lossless audio format is FLAC. Another (having the advantage of being supported by Windows XP without requiring any additional program) is WMA Lossless
