There are some people who complain about the loss of fidelity due to the digital storage of CDs and still prefer to listen to analogue LPs. CDs are technically lossy, too, by sheer virtue of converting an analogue input into a digital format.

But you are correct in that re-coding and trancoding results in loss of some of the original sound, similar to the loss of quality with copying a cassette tape.
