Oh I agree, but the article states that CDs are recorded at 128kbs[sic]. That's clearly not true and is very easily verifiable. When I see a big and obvious mistake like that, it makes the rest of the article suspect. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30256 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
