When real audio 2.0 was released it was possible to get the encoder. So back in the mid 90s I ripped Dark aside of the Moon to wave (I had a massive SCSI disk) and transcoded it to the smallest settings. I got it down to two 5 1/4” disks.

I revisited the experiment a few years ago here:

Now I’m wondering why I didn’t go all the way and make a custom player...
