[Shotimes] Premium sound system question

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

Just to add a little more fuel to this (like it needs it), a friend
of mine wanted to convert all of his cds to mp3s, but upon doing
some research, he found that in order to keep the same quality
of the recording, he would have had to convert at a much larger
bit rate, or whatever, and the number of songs he could store on
the device fell drastically.  Don't know if it's true or not, but it
seems to me people are getting sucked in by the promise of being
able to store your entire cd library on the head of a pin ( my
analogy, sorry), that they don't realize they are going to have to
forego the quality just to do it.
