Okay, I've tried the lossless compression:
I took a short song, Blur's Woohoo, 44.1kHz/16bit w/ only 21394998 Bytes an=
d
compressed it with CompactPro: 22725499 Bytes.
Stuffit get's it down to: 19796675 Bytes which is 93% or 80min sound on a
74min CD. I think AIFF is not a very comfortable source for compression
which might be the reason for the development of the MP3 compression.
