Yes, CVSD will work for Music, but you will need 4X the niquist rate sampling. You can't get much smaller data storage than CVSD, however CVSD is a companding algorithm. If you want an auto leveling type of music your ok. If you are looking for a full range of sound levels you won't like the quality. Hence 4X sampling will help allot. There are no know PIC, algorithms for CVSD.
