I find this very hard to believe.  Speaking from my own experience, I've
had nothing but outstanding results with SHORTEN.

I collect live concert bootlegs; recorded on DAT, dumped down onto the
HDD as WAVs, compressed to SHNs, and burned onto CDs that I listen to.
I've got nearly 100 such CDs sitting here at my side, and here's the
stats based on those live concert CDs.

My average song compression		52% savings
My worst single-song comression		35% savings
My best single-song compression		60% savings

The main thing I wanted to point out is that I've never had a something
compress less than 35%.

peace,
-Paco
