[newbie] BeOS for music?

[joe_reynolds]

I have heard a couple of posts elluding to the fact that BeOS is a good OS for
dealing with music - Can anyone elaborate? Can BeOS convert audio files to
digital with better quality than Windo$e (or Linux)? Is the playback better
quality? Does anyone know what compressed formats BeOS uses, and how thier
quality stacks up against, say, MP3?
