Also, I hear that with Og Vorvis, you can get the same quality of recording that you get with MP3 at 160 kbps, with 80 kbps with Og. I think that WMA is also smaller than MP3. Also with MP3, you can get up to ten hours of music. Virtually, an MP3 file is a tenth the size of a wav at 128 kbps. I haven't figured out about 1600 kbps! As has been stated before, it's a trade-off. A larger file size yields better quality, but MP3 sounds good to me! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Bullis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
