The Mac classic's sound output is stereo, I believe. But the 68000 Motorola processor, which is what the Classic uses, is not capable of decoding the MP3 format. There is a program called MPEGdec, which plays MP3s on old Macs, but I think the earliest computers it worked well on were 68030-processor macs. Yes, you can run linux on old Macs like the Classic, but they don't usually have a very good, if any, GUI. Which is fine if you aren't seeking a graphical user interface. Search on Google for a 68k Mac Linux to download. One problem though is getting it onto the Classic. If you already have a Floppy-equipped Mac with internet, it'll be ok, but if not then it could be quite a challenge to get it running on the classic. Just out of curiosity, what is your Classic's specs? Hard drive size, RAM, system software, etc. Sorry if this is hard to comprehend; I don't know Spanish well :( Andrew -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
