I find this very hard to believe. Speaking from my own experience, I've
had nothing but outstanding results with SHORTEN.
I collect live concert bootlegs; recorded on DAT, dumped down onto the
HDD as WAVs, compressed to SHNs, and burned onto CDs that I listen to.
I've got nearly 100 such CDs sitting here at my side, and here's the
stats based on those live concert CDs.
My average song compression 52% savings
My worst single-song comression 35% savings
My best single-song compression 60% savings
The main thing I wanted to point out is that I've never had a something
compress less than 35%.
peace,
