    Low-Bitrate Audio Comparison

    I will probably try to write a separate review for AAC later. AAC is a lot different than MP3, Ogg, or WMA in that I don't have a player for Pocket PC, and I have also heard that the compression quality is flaky. I am currently experimenting with the PsyTEL encoder. It claims to be the best one...

    Pocket PC MP3/Ogg/MP3Pro/WMA?

    WMP for Pocket PC supports MP3Pro, WMA, and MP3, and I can get a player that supports ogg easily. A couple of more questions. Are there any other compression schemes I should look at? Also, what program provides the best conversion quality?

    Pocket PC MP3/Ogg/MP3Pro/WMA?

    I have a Toshiba e335 with which I am VERY happy. I have about 30 MB to burn for MP3s, so I am curious what I should use for the best compression quality for the size. Of course, I would like to fit at least one album on this space, and no, extra memory is not an option. What format...
