Default Converting FLAC to MP3 or AAF?

MP3 and AAF were *designed* to be lossy.


Add WMA to that list.

I compress binary files that much without necessarily losing
anything.


One would certainly hope so! And Flac is designed for the same purpose with
audio files.

I have read that some conversions to MP3 lose no information.


You read wrong, or probably read someone else who is misinformed. No
shortage of those on the net.

I am wondering if there is some conversion
percentage reduction cut off when it becomes obvious that
information is being lost.


Nope, YOU get to decide when YOU think it's obvious some information is
being lost.

"Diminished" is a subjective evaluation.


A subjective evaluation, Marley?


Yep, sound quality is *always* subjective to the listener.
Everyone gets their own opinion!
