Sure, but who said anything about degrading quality? Use FLAC as default
then. Or pop up a first time dialog asking the user to select encoding
(lossy, lossless) and a short notice on what the difference is. The user
is saving the sound, not the format! Many people can't tell the
difference between a CD audio and a high quality Ogg/Mp3/WMA/whatever.
