I think an mp3 player for a C64 with an REU might be practical. The mp3
files could be reduced so that they fit into 512K, with a reduction in
quality to suit 4 bit samples and whatever sample rate was possible
instead of 16 bit 44.1kHz.

Well it's a nice idea :) I just got into trouble at work for having mp3
files...
