[PlanetCCRMA] mp3 encoders

[nigel henry]

Hi Peter. Personally I'd suggest you encourage the folks that want your tunes 
to get an ogg vorbis plugin for windows media player. 
http://www.resources.ind-music.com/ . When I started with computers a couple 
of years ago I didn't know what PDF's were, and had to get the adobe reader 
for em. Same goes for flashplayer, quicktime,etc. You probably realise I'm 
not into the proprietary stuff!  Even playing MP3's on linux has been a bit 
of a problem. Mplayer plays em, and GQmpeg on Debian, but certainly the .ogg 
format is a lot easier and gives support to open source at the same time. 
Never know, may swing some Windoze users over to Linux audio. If you have 
your tunes on a webserver, a link to the site to get the ogg vorbis plug-in 
for windows media player shouldn't be a problem. Nigel.
