Well, I hate compression and encoding all together. I like full-bandwidth
uncompressed files. However, given the need to reduces size for this
medium, I concur this MP3 thing seems well entrenched. However, like all
"format wars" the most popular and successful may not be the best
technically. Anyone remember the Sony Betamax?

My dad wanted to know what kick ass work you were refering to since he is
the only one in the family ever called "Mr. Hendry." <huge stoogely
