> A few decades later, we have audio compression that is much better and higher-quality than MP3
Just curious, which formats and how they compare, storage wise?
Also, are you sure it's not just moving the goalposts to CPU usage? Frequently more powerful compression algorithms can't be used because they use lots of processing power, so frequently the biggest gains over 20 years are just... hardware advancements.
