�Hola, Juli�n! �Bienvenido a Compact Macs! (Apologies for the Spanish sentence, but I just had to greet another Spanish speaker in my mother tongue :-) ).
Congratulations for your find! Many people doesn't like the Classic as much as other compact Macintoshes, but I find it a cute little machine :-) . I love it. As others have already said, not only the Classic's sound output isn't good enough for hi-fi music (it's only a monophonic 8 bit, 22 khz output), but also the processor isn't capable of decoding even the lower bitrates (an 8 Mhz 68000 compares well to an 8 Mhz 80286). If you want to use it as a jukebox to play background music, you can convert the sound files to AIFF format at a sampling rate and quality suitable for the Classic. With 8 bit mono at 11 Khz, you'll get an 1-to-16 compression ratio (MP3 at 128 kbps gives you an 1-to-12 ratio) and you'll be able to fit several dozens of hours of music in a 2 Gb internal drive (the largest you can attach to a Classic if you don't want to deal with partitions). Saludos / Greetings, Antonio Rodr�guez (Grijan) <ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/> P.D.: I'm from Spain. I'm affraid we're a bit far from each other, but count on me with whatever you want. Of course, you can write to me in Spanish ;-) .
