Yes, i was getting the two confused but both yield similar results and bad anti-aliasing will yield distortion as clipping will in a recording.

I don't agree with your last statement, but you're entitled to your opinion as am i.
If your CD has a scratch that's got nothing to do with mp3 encoding.

Of course if you encode with a lossy format at a low bitrate eventually you're going to reach a point where so much information is discarded that the processing becomes audible, everyone knows that so what's you're point? P.S nobody who knows what they are talking about could possibly confuse concepts like dither and aliasing with clipping....
