Hey ppl,

Im currently researching into 8051 based mp3 players and you guys have
overcome the processing power limitiations of the 8051.

Can you tell me what it is in the old mp3 player
(http://www.pjrc.com/tech/mp3/old_player.html)
That prevents it from being able to handle anything greater the 192kbit/s

Is it the speed at which it can access the hard drive?

Also would you know the processor loading for each part of the firmware?

i.e. what % is spent hd access, serial transfer to decoder, idle etc

Many Thanks,
Ryan.
