Not true!
My q10 Vorbis files add up to roughly 120MB, and they'd probably approach 200MB in FLAC. But I'm just quibbling. :)

Re: Curse of Monkey Island is NOT at all playable.

To start off, the speech often stutter. When a dialog begins or when you "fast forward" often the dialog will begin with a stutter, maybe in 3 of 10 cases this will happen. Knowing a little bit more about your set-up (your hardware, your system, whether you compressed the audio, etc) woul...
