i keep trying to write things about the phone system i run and it keeps spiraling out into a long article on compression codecs. so while i try to figure out how to focus this thing, have this mess i created in ffmpeg by converting mp3 -> mu-law -> gsm -> amr-nb. it starts getting good around the 45 second mark
(song is "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanoSongs, a royalty-free music producer. archive of mp3 available here)
