<p>Good luck. I don't know of any codec providing at 56Kbps a quality
better than mp3 at 128.

Could Tom have been refering to HE AAC?

The web site http://www.nerodigital.com/ *claims* that it can do cd
quality at 48kbps.  (Of course, Windows Media said the same at 64kbps
and we all know better.)

It uses the same technique as mp3pro does, except with AAC.  Although
mp3pro was hardly perfect, it was undeniable that it did significantly
improve upon the plain mp3 format.

Which is the same basic techniques as the old mp+ used with the mp2
format, right?

Would that improve a future version of Ogg?
