    killer samples -> given more agressive music, codecs might fail. There are some examples on hydrogenaudio.

    Can you clarify what this is? Are there songs that cannot be stored in mp3 form? I tried searching it but I just got a bunch of results about murder instead.

      Killer samples are lossy sounds that are distinguishable from lossless regardless of bitrate. They are usually handcrafted extremes that you wouldnt find in any real audio.
