Years ago I used the Xing mp3 encoder and while fast, it cut off frequencies above 15 kHz, just like an FM broadcast. As a result, the mp3 sounded crappy. But you can't really compare mp3 with FM stereo. House mixes aired on the radio are usually encoded _at_ 192 kbps which IMHO is utterly useless and a waste of bandwidth. 96 is enough really, and I certainly don't hear the difference! Also, while micropower might be legal stateside it is not in Europe. But if you keep it very lopo no one will notice anyway. I myself am looking for a battery powered kit that will provide FM stereo for use on my bike (the real, unpowered type!) for use with my Aiwa Walkman. I know there are synthesizer chips that will run on almost nothing, but if they can be persuaded to be an FM transmitter I don't know as yet. A cheapcheap stereo encoder using CMOS chips should be easy. T.J. . __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
