I just stumbled onto mp3 music. My 4.6Gig spare drive has about
400Meg left...
I wonder how hard it would be to create an mp3-CD player? Put
together a CD-ROM drive, DOS-on-a-chip, a DSP, and some custom
playback software. Burn CD's with 10-15 CDs-worth of music on each.
That would be great for traveling. :)
Note: I am *not* advocating creating mp3-based archive CDs for
distribution or sharing. Just keeping in that gray area of
duplication for personal use.
