The question is, what is the benefit of using MP3.

I experimented yesterday with a typical file

.aiff 78kB

.au   37kB  (at 22, mono, 8bit)

.mp3  27kB  (??)

am I doing something wrong?      Tony

the records are www/birds/sounds/00sounds/swainsons1.etc

Dear Slanislav,
I will look into MP3 encoding. An experiment on
a musical tape seemed to show an improvement
factor of less than 2, but I'll check it again.
Thanks for your interest.
Tony
