Hi sandip,
i thought you wanted to meet me at foss.in? Have been looking for you,
and now within another 4 hours the event is over.
There were some interesting talks here on foss audio, and quite a few
people from ilug-d (except msn, who's gone missing)

So which speakers did you finally end up buying?
hehehee. would be very cheap of me to give you an answer with a brand name

otoh, here are a few reasons why i shortlisted that one:
a) mp3 compresses sound by dicarding a lot of frequencies. if you're
sensitive to harmonics,
so its ok to shift from ogg to MP3?
as a matter of foss-principle, i would opposte the idea.
stick to ogg. write a brief intro on how to playback ogg.

When you put (1) and (2) together, the only conclusion that you can
reach is that MP3 is not patentable in India, and hence free to use.
