Will I lose the low or high frequency bands? I mean, will I get less
bass or less treble? What is the frequency window?

Why can it not be CDDA quality? For instance, why can't a CD be
streamed over the radio without loss in quality? The frequency of the
music is 44.1 KHz and the FM frequency is between 88-108 Mhz -- which
is a magnitude of 10^3 apart. I'm confused :-(

Yes, I am. Got me :-)

What if I had a high-quality transmitter?
