KT-Tech Sound Compression - Music at 32 Kbit/s

Posted by timothy on from the fine-print-time dept.

Robert Buccigrossi writes: "KT-Tech, whose wireless video compression was featured in a previous Slashdot story, has released a demo for real-time sound compression at http://www.kttech.com/. Like their video, the sound compression is symmetric and is suitable for wireless real-time communication in software. It sounds better than Windows Media and MP3 at 32 Kbit/s for music and 4 Kbit/s for voice." According to the site, "licensing KT-Tech's sound codec is easy," but I bet it's not as easy as .ogg.

    I can compress any Britney Spears song down to zero bits without loss of quality.

    I'm wondering how long it'll take for someone to hack apart the ktsplayer executable and rework it as a Winamp module?
