Is it really? I just tried playing my whole mp3 collection through shred
-z, and it seemed kind of strange. Every file, from Bach to Stravinsky
to Charlie Parker to Led Zeppelin, seemed to have been converted into a
unique performance of John Cage's "4:33". It somehow seemed to increase
the size of my hard disk, too, as I have much more free space now than I
did before. Is this a known feature of shred, and if so, why don't other
players do the same thing?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Craig
