If you are looking to release it in a format that a relatively large number of people can play, you might want to consider mastering it in a combo DVD Video/Audio format, in the form of an ISO file. Cirlinca has some relatively inexpensive software for doing the job.

I am totally inexperienced in web-friendly file formats for such things.. afaic - I could use mp3-surround -> but it' s only 5.1 and this could possibly cause problems - I could use flac -> but I' m not sure if common media-players support it - I could try some video format (?) are there any other ideas/observations/advices ?? what is paramount is that the casual listener can listen to the 4-channel mix without having to download nothing or in the worst scenario to download some specialized media-player which is flexible/easy to find and free. maybe there is specialized file-format/media-player or some lossy ambisonics formats for such things ?? -- Marinos Koutsomichalis Music Research Center, University of York Contemporary Music Research Centre (CMRC) www.marinoskoutsomichalis.com www.agxivatein.com skype: marinosk_81 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
