wolfwingsHarry Potter Book on CD, $50
Dual-1.4Ghz Athlon, $500
Handspring Treo 90, $150
SpeeX audio encoder, Free
Being able to listen to a book anywhere you go, priceless.
I officially love SpeeX. For voice recordings that sound unbelievably crisp and clean, it's able to still compress them down to around 27kbps, and that's in ultra-high-quality mode. If I turn off the 8khz-16khz frequency-encoding, which simply 'fills in' the voice more throughly without making it any more 'legible' then the bitrate drops to around 8kbps, low enough I could stream the entire 23 CD's over a 9600-baud modem. =^.^=
