[NTLK] AAC? Speaking of MP3's and compression

     Ah good 128 kps is not economical to store on a Newton. So what size MP3 do you use for your Newton? Like any good Newton, I'm going for the smallest MP3 compression I can get. :)

 into this, would the Newton have the power to read this compression?

Maybe, but you won't get too much benefit from AAC. It's supposedly
better than MP3 only for bitrates higher than 128kbit/s. And that is
not economical to store on the Newton. Much more interesting is
Ogg/Vorbis which is better at low bitrates. Some people say that 64kbit
Ogg = 128kbit MP3... I haven't tested it, but it's probably something I
look into before AAC.
