The Q &A Column in today's Circuits section of the NY Times talks about
alternatives to MP3: MP3Pro & Ogg Vorbis. MP3Pro is supposed to yield
sound files roughly half the size of MP3's.
"Ogg Vorbis... is an open-source audio encoding technology that works on
Windows, Macintosh, Unix and Linux systems." (And why not Newton? thought
I.)
The article gives these URLs for more info:
www.digit-life.com/articles/mp3pro
www.mp3pro.ws
www.vorbis.com
This stuff is over my head but maybe some gifted sound programmers on this
list night be interested?... (Eric? Paul?...) ;-)
