some times ago i was playing with coding, shannon theoremes and other stuff, i have tried without success to compress audio wave, and i have notice that simply oversampling audio material enacnhe a lot compression ratio i only take awav file, oversampled it by 20 tiimes and then compressi it using pkzip or rar. i don0't remember if i also do a CONSTANT PREDICTION, iony know that pkzip and rar nicely work when they have to compress a file that has few symbols pkzip fail compressing chinese, or wave file but work with english text couse it has only 20 symbols=) a wav file has 2^16 simbols.. but if you oversampled it and then make a CONSTANT PREDICTION you can reduce the nunber of truly used symbols to a lower number. try it=) and may be it will work=) or maybe it will not =) see you good work and sorry ofr my bad english
