Heres some slightly relevant musical content. Public Enemy just put a new track called "Swindlers Lust" in both MP3 and MP4 (huh?) at http://www.public-enemy.com/mp4/index.html. Get it before Def Jam comes a knocking (any minute now). P. E. gets total props for doing this. The track ain't bad at all.

the audio segment of mpeg4 gives you a ' palette ' of compression tools for achieving low bite rate audio . i suspect that the flavour of compression used here is the ' general audio coding tool ' , which is pretty much based on mpeg2 AAC audio coding but souped up a little bit to include a few new extra tricks . check out the mpeg home page at http://drogo.cselt.stet.it/mpeg/ for the whole lowdown . the spec got publically released about 2 / 3 weeks ago . hope this is some interest ? mark b .

Basically MP4 is like a self-extracting, self-executing sound file? Given the warezpuppy status of MP3s, I think I'll stick to them. I don't run CUPHOLDER.EXE when I get it either...
