re: "Interesting to Others"

I've got the hardware in place to make MP3s of audio on cassette.
I estimate a low bandwidth .mp3 version of mono speech to be about
8 min/MByte. Thus three hours of meeting audio would add less than
25MB to the SCOUG CD-of-the-month. This would be a good application
for the .mp3 format.

While my car CD player plays .mp3s, most don't yet. If you need to
make standard audio CDs, you'd need about roughly 1 CD/hour (74 minutes,
actually) of audio. Perhaps you could distribute in .mp3 format and
let users make the conversion back to .wav (or whatever).
