I want to propose to all of us to call these reduction scheme's

"DATA/INFORMATION =A0REDUCTION"
OTOH "compression" is lossless per definition! the weird name
like
lossless compression is forced to us by smart crooked sales
people.

There is nothing wrong with compression like ZIP; RAR or FLAC
and everything wrong with data/information reduction like MP3

Really? Good luck on your next mobile phone call if you don't want to
use lossy encoding. Do DVD movies sound terrible because they also use
lossy encoding.? You would appear to be in a very small minority since
most listeners seem to have at least some tolerance for this
technology.
