[slinkelist] mpeg2 ????????

Someone yesterday had posted the Sound & Vision review of mp3 versus CDs.

Kind of interesting.  With double blind tests at my home, even the lower
sample rates have been adequate for popular music.

It is my impression that the latest revision of mpeg-2 audio (AAC) has
surpassed mpeg audio layer 3 (aka mpeg3) in performance, but in a
non-backward-compatible way.  I could be wrong about this.
