Not neccesairly - there were rumors going around of something like 1:20
compression, or maybe even higher.  Heck, ATRAC was released a long time
ago...imagine what they could do today.

Which AFAIK is compressed LESS than mp3, so I'd get even less music to
listen to :)  MiniDiscs at 130mb/74mins is good, but I'd LOVE to fit say
700mb of audio on a disc :)  That iPhoto disc that was mentioned on here
the other week looks good, depending on what cost the put on the devices
:)
