>Why, indeed - the typical MP3 track takes about 4 MB; that would make for 5000 songs, not for 10,000 songs. Yech.
I'm not aware of that technology. Compressing MP3? What about the sound quality? If the results are the same as compress on and on JPG files I would say, NO, thanks.
Even MP3 format has lost a lot of quality comparing with MP2 but it was accepted as standard (not to mention Khz. Rate, etc.)
