Christopher "Monty" Montgomery (of Ogg and Vorbis fame) took to the pages of xiph.org today to argue that distibuting music at resolutions above 16/48 make no sense.
His opinions as to what bits are significant are as subjective as anyone's, his calculations are not incorrect, and I wish he could have found a more authoritative reference for information theory than Wikipedia. (Or is that an open source community thing?)
Thoughts?
