OK Guys

We all have MP3s in 128 or 96 kbps bitrate right now If I reduce this bit rate I get a less heavy file right!

Now what I want to know is what minimum bitrate a USBMemory key cum MP3 Player can support ( 32 KBps give acceptable quality and 5mt song goes right down to around an <1MB)

AND
Can normal USB MP3 Player support codecs like MP3 pro by Nero( I mean its essentially a cosmetic difference b/w MP3 and MP3 pro)


AND

Can a firmware upgrade allow MP3 player to ply MP4 audio files


:?

1. The MP3 player will support 32 Kbps (But 32 Kbps??? are u sure???)
2. No, they dont support pro yet (unless they mention that they support pro), anyway, they will play pro cause it is backward compatible, but with reduced quality.
3. Maybe, Maybe not... Depends on the player.
