I will always resist RealAudio. To say that I hate the product and
company policies is an understatement. If it is in RealAudio I will
never be able to listen to it.
Since dawn chorus or any full chorus is such a hard event for most,
maybe the best way is to open it up for a 3 min. submission of chorus
from anytime within the year 2003. We might increase participation
that way and be able to accomodate both hemispheres.
I would like to see more than 20 submissions at about 3 mins. each.
I could host it in both wave and mp3 and still come in under 4 gigs.
I don't write html well like greg though. I'm sure my sponsor for
non-commercial natural sound can handle that space on its fast
server. Maybe you want me to provide space to link to from somewhere
else.
