Not sure you're saving your ears by doing this compared to say, turning the volume down.

You can't 'uncompress' an MP3 back to having the dynamic range it had before.

True. In fact I would rather compress old music to bring it to the same dynamics of the new one, then and only then normalize everything. I know it's almost a crime; I did it just on my player and would never give these tracks to anyone.

We can take a jpeg and run it back to RAW?

Because I don't think we can.
