...I would prefer ogg because MP3 has copyright issues.
Ok, I have prepared an ogg version of the example, please test on your platforms:
http://www.codeconsult.ch/clients/gt2003/00-introduction.ogg
I've tested it on macosx with ITunes and ogg plugin, plays ok, title and copyright are shown in the info fields.
To me it sounds worse than the mp3 version (which is about the same size), but is still understandable.
Encoding was done as follows: oggenc -q1 -M16 --downmix --resample 8000 \ -t "Cocoon GT 2003, Steven Noels, introduction" \ -a "Copyright (C) 2003, Apache Software Foundation" \ 00-introduction.wav
What do people think then, do we want to publish both mp3 and ogg (I can easily do both once I get going), or just ogg?
Also, do we have to ask before distributing this on the ASF mirrors? The whole low-fi audio files should take about 60 MB per format.
