hi I was wondering if Josh could tell me what the difference between the cpu load (in %) of a flac vs. mp3 encoder is on the same cpu or an estimation of it . I want to have an idea of this because I'm wondering if playing flac files would use more cpu (in %) then playing mp3 files on my pocket pc. So if I would know this, I would know which decoder will empty my battery the most quickly. thx in advance

What effect this has on battery usage depends on the device.

I was wondering how much less it is then mp3 decoder cpu usage. thx What effect this has on battery usage depends on the device.>-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
