Well, as far as i know, mp4's are not around yet. It was
supposed to be out in December (according to irc #mp3
central) but it was delayed. As far as i'm concerned, as
much
as i like the mp3 format, MD still sounds WAY better,
especially
above 8khz. Mp4 are supposed to sound better than MP3,
with an even greater compression ratio, but it'll take up
more
CPU power to decode (read). As always, correct me if i'm
wrong,
i have no ego... =o)
