      <![CDATA[<p>There are different levels of compression in MP3 that can be traded off against the quality of the sound: the better the quality of sound, the bigger the file. When an MP3 player's manufacturer indicate how many songs a player might hold, they'll typically assume better-than-average compression. If you have your own audio software you can adjust the compression if you like, but you'll probably notice that the quality of sound will degrade.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Obviously ANY uncompressed format should compress some using ZIP. But it's not always obvious which files are, or are not compressed. For example some BMP files actually are compressed. Same for some .WAV files.</p>]]>
