IIRC, Sony settled on 500GB per CD so that all of Beethoven's 9th Symphony could fit on one CD at the then-present sampling rates. For a lossless compression, a one-third reduction is not bad at all.
It would seem that the only downsides are file size (not important) and network traffic, which becomes less of an issue if you use a wired connection (higher rate and less overhead). -- DrJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DrJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22854 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
