sure. but that's not engineering. engineering is balancing the cost
of a resource vs the benefit. so we're trading storage against sound
quality. storage is ~$15/GB, and sound quality is subjective. so
it's up to the customer to determine where on this continuum the
solution should be. but it does seem a tad rich to say that an extra
$10 or so of storage is extravagant (assuming steve's 50% compression.)
