I like to compare mp3 program files
I had the same question. I found that itunes changed many of my Amazon MP3 downloads by changing the time and date stamps, file sizes, and therefore the MD5 signature. My backups had many close duplicate files.
When I made the VIM difference, I could see that the changes were limited to very small parts of the files. Files looked the same side by side in Audacity even at close zoom.
