MP3

 ALWAYS USE AN MP3 PLAYER WHEN INLINE SKATING

If you've embraced the new millennium you probably know that MP3 is a file compression that squeezes music files down to a size that can be easily handled by a personal computer. To learn more go to MP3.com and/or the links page.

I now use a Rio 800 MP3 player while skating. To squeeze 2 hours of music into it's 64 Mb I reduce the bit rate to 80 kbps, from the standard 128 kbps, the loss in quality is not readily discernible.

The current downloadable tune (as a zip file) is...

Jaded by Aerosmith

size 1.9 Mb @ 80 kbps

duration 3:29
