I'm currently thinking of whether or not it is feasable to put stego data into EVERY .mp3 downloaded. just put random data into those not intended to carry a message.

Problem is that repeatedly decoding an .mp3 into a .wav, then feeding the .wav and the stegobits into a stego-mp3-compressor[1], will lose quality with each iteration. But if you're just taking 'first generation' simple rips off a CD or LP or Napster :-) you can do it easily. [1] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~fapp2/steganography/mp3stego/
