Nah we would download 128kbs files, and then reencode them as 16kbps to octuple the number we could fit on our Diamond Rio.



I don't think I ever got below 64kps in my own testing before the audio quality fell apart.

I was using a Palm PDA, so I found a player that supported ogg. That allowed me to push to 48kps (or maybe even 32kps) with "acceptable" quality.


Ah the teenage angst flareup if our device cant support variable bit rate encoding.
