This is an interesting idea but the technology has a longgggggggggggg way to go. Mp3 imo sucks the life out of the music and this compression just degrades it to the point of sounding like complete crap. What do you think?
Copied from the Rochester.edu website:
Researchers at the University of Rochester have digitally reproduced music in a file nearly 1,000 times smaller than a regular MP3 file.
The music, a 20-second clarinet solo, is encoded in less than a single kilobyte, and is made possible by two innovations: recreating in a computer both the real-world physics of a clarinet and the physics of a clarinet player.
Takes about 5-10 seconds to buffer depending on your connection.

I think that I never want to hear what it would sound like.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

From a brief skim of it, it sounds more like they're recreating a sound rather than storing it. Almost like the way a MIDI file works.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

Next thing you know they'll come up with a method to encode it

Sounds like a musical form of TWITTER! What's the fewest number of characters you can use to communicate about nothing?
