My own preference for Ogg is that if provides as good (if not better) quality sound with a smaller filesize. I've seen 20% smaller quoted, but when I've played around with timeshifting 30 or 60 minute programmes from Radio Seven the MP3 equivalent has been twice as big as the ogg. The plan with the tuner project is that it will allow the user to configure whatever filetype they want - even .wav if they're desperate to fill up their discs :-) -- Tony Green Please remove .clothing to reply http://www.beermad.org.uk/ No Micro$oft products were used in the generation of this communication *** A little something to keep the CIA spooks at Echelon busy: Overthrow capitalism, Palestine
