Sci-fi or another compression breakthrough for digital music?

Company CEO Jamie True said in a press release today, "'ShrinkMyTunes addresses important and specific needs for anyone with a music collection and will be particularly popular with owners of iPod minis and shuffles, as well as new iPhone customers. There are currently over 11 million people in the UK alone that own an MP3 player and this sector is continuing to experience high growth."
The product will reportedly be available online and through HMV stores this fall.

Exactly. These things come and go. MP3Pro was the last one.

Wait, are you serious? LAME MP3 with -V2 or -V0 switches are reigning supreme in the internet audio world as of now. AAC is wack, man. Also, for the love of pie, don't ever encode anything below 192 kbps.
