With storage capacities increasing for mini hard drives and prices falling, any compression less than 128kbps to fit more songs on your portable devices is a stopgap measure if mp3s continues to be the compression standard. Better compression obviously means getting more value out of your portable device. Since some of these codecs does a better job at compression, at what bitrate would Nero HE-AAC or Ogg compare to Lame mp3 in regard to a similar rating? Finding out those ratios should be useful to this community. I think I saw a post which said that Ogg is about 96kish in sound quality compared to mp3. Which if correct gives us 25% increased storage. Would nero be better or some other codec? Bring it down to 80kbps or so. Going after a arbitrary "64kbps" is silly. Now if they were made so we could change the firmware... oh babbbbbbby!!! more excitement for us nerds =P =)
What if Segway, Honda and Microsoft (or the open source community) got together with WalMart to make the kind of retail robots that an earlier/. article
