NGL this kinda sounds bullshit, unless you're reencoding or compressing the file over and over I don't think magnetic orientation errors or general entropy leads to that much degradation. At worst a few bits get flipped and a CRC fails or something. But also in the process of typing this I realized this might just be a bit and I'm making this comment for nothing idk. :shrug-outta-hecks:
Yeah regardless of the hardware side, lossy vs lossless compression has nothing to do with losing data over time, even if you use lossless very high quality encoding if the data's getting corrupted it doesn't matter if it wasn't compressed, you're losing the data.
