I wasn't talking about MP# compression or anything I meant when I compress files that are on my computer to save disk space am I hurting the sound quality of the music files that are on my computer?

In lossy audio compression, methods of psychoacoustics are used to remove non-audible (or less audible) components of the signal. Compression of human speech is often performed with even more specialized techniques, so that "speech compression" or "voice coding" is sometimes distinguished as a separate discipline than "audio compression". Different audio and speech compression standards are listed under audio codecs. Voice compression is used in Internet telephony for example, while audio compression is used for CD ripping and is decoded by MP3 players.

Whenever you compress a sound or image file there will be some loss of quality. That's where compression codec becomes important..some do a better job than others.

Somewhat, but you can save in resolutions so that the difference is almost indiscernable to the human ear. I would not, however, recommend recording in compressed formats.
