Just for me to understand: is it important for you to have MP3 or would another possibly better format like e.g. Ogg Vorbis do ? Apart from argueably better quality w/r to sound at low bitrates Ogg Vorbis is free software and AFAIK could be integrated into any other program at no charge. To my knowledge all major WAV/MP3/... mediaplayer support it. At least on windows WinAmp2.8+, Sonique (newer versions) and I think even M$ MediaPlayer do so. I'm sure there are Mac MediaPlayer supporting it as well. Just curious, best, Michael -- Vote against SPAM - see http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ Michael Gerdau email: mgd@...

> Just for me to understand: > is it important for you to have MP3 or would another possibly better > format like e.g. Ogg Vorbis do ? AFAIC I only use MP3 because it is what the client requests. Therefore I wouldn't want to use anything else unless it was a company that I had an established relationship with. If they want MP3, that's what they get. best, Nathan ___ Nathan Rosenberg Music Production www.doghouseNYC.com The Doghouse NYC www.pianoVOX.com
