I suppose it comes down to semantics. While red book is an uncompressed format, the reality is that every bit of commercial music is subjected to audio compression before seeing the disc, and the lionshare is downsampled before it is mastered and pressed. So the music you are listening to has been compressed and has shed data through the process. For all intents and purposes, CD is essentially a compressed format now. Didn't used to be that way.
