It is for PC's, but to my shock and horror, I have been mightily
impressed with the Mac OSX version. No popups, no spyware and it
actually works without grinding the OS to a halt. I think the OSX
player is in beta version, so they have yet to code in the bits that
turn a relatively fast computer into a broken clockwork toy.
For compression, try experimenting with ogg. Its open source, and is a
mighty beast. A 128kbps mp3 compared to a 128kbps ogg file is
incredible - the bass, top and general clarity is still there in the
ogg file.
There are compressors/decoders for mac/linux/PC
(http://www.vorbis.com/), and its free.
