I agree with Robert & Xyvind, that can't be real music ;) The .bz2 compression ratio (vs. the wav) was 1 : 5.781 I tried bzipping some Chopin (bzip2 version 1.02, no cmdline options) and I got a measley 1 : 1.24 Personally though, (with my speakers at least), I can't tell the difference between 1.4 Mbps PCM and 128 Kbps vbr .oggs
That's the point. Formats like MP3 and OGG save *a lot* of space by removing minor tone changes and sounds that our ears can't hear anyway. So while they are *not* the same, they *sound* the same to our ears.
