Very interesting interview with Ken Thompson, inventor of UNIX. He
talks about the vast superiority of PAC over MP3! Here's a link;

computer.org

Right now, my list has around 35,000 songs, of which I've collected around 20,000. I compress the songs with a Bell Labs-invented algorithm called PAC [Perceptual Audio Coding] and store them on a jukebox storage system. I started this before MP3 was heard of on the network. PAC is vastly superior to MP3.
