It is for PC's, but to my shock and horror, I have been mightily 
impressed with the Mac OSX version. No popups, no spyware and it 
actually works without grinding the OS to a halt. I think the OSX 
player is in beta version, so they have yet to code in the bits that 
turn a relatively fast computer into a broken clockwork toy.

For compression, try experimenting with ogg. Its open source, and is a 
mighty beast. A 128kbps mp3 compared to a 128kbps ogg file is 
incredible - the bass, top and general clarity is still there in the 
ogg file.

There are compressors/decoders for mac/linux/PC 
(http://www.vorbis.com/), and its free.
