Re: LP3 hardware Mpeg player

[Grimshaw Stuart <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxx>]

I use "Bladenc". A nice little DOS util that lets you drag and
drop
"wav" files onto it if you create a shortcut on your desktop.

I have a question for someone who knows a little more about MP3 than I.
I would try it, but it's only just struck me, and I don't have access to
the software here...If I encode an MP3 from a wav, it cuts out all the
frequencies I can't here, if I were to convert them back to wav's would
the program fill this now empty space with "fluff"? Or would I
get 2 and
3 meg wav files? Which I could then write to a CD to play in my car?

Stuart Grimshaw,
