GSM is a lossy audio compression system. When you compress, you lose 
some sound 
quality. However, one time compression works well enough. 
 
To give you some idea of how well GSM can compress audio, take 
"Virtual 
(void)", that charming little song that comes with BeOS, and 
that we all heard at PCExpo: 
 
The original file is 31.1 MB 
After GSM, the file is 1.6 MB 
An MP3 of the same file is 2.8 MB 
 
I hope to have the source code and a precompiled library available in 
the near 
future. 
 
This version is still under development, and complete by no means.
