> Dan, what bit rate would you consider acceptable for mp3 recording?

I did a blind listening test at an NSS Workshop, and 256K bits/sec was
indistinguishable from the original on a dawn chorus. Pushing lower rates
depends on the material and that requires trial and error. There's an expen=
sive
plug-in available now, Sonnox/Fraunhofer Pro Codec, that lets you monitor i=
n
real time switching between original and various codecs and data rates. Wou=
ld be
great for setting up a web site with audio, you could encode different clip=
s at
different rates depending on how they sounded or looked on a spectrogram.
