I never tested MP3 for radio, but I suspect they're ok, since the sound quality of radio transmission anyway is limited. FWIW FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) does reduce the size for 50–60%. For radio I used analog tapes, with colored tapes as code and later DAT. I found a nice thread, unfortunately on German only, it's about radio terms that die out: http://www.radioforen.de/index.php?threads/aussterbende-radiobegriffe-% E2%80%93-alle-hier-rein.25497/ It seems today they don't use colored tapes anymore, since "Gelbband" (yellow tape) is one of this terms. Didn't read the complete German thread, but my favorite statement of terms that die out is "Qualität" (quality ;). > I use lynx, e-links which is more java script friendly, and > links which also has java script abilities when compiled correctly every > single day, many times a day. I'm to stupid, the text-based browsers lynx and w3m aren't self-explaining for me. I'm able to do only the bare necessities when using a text-based editor. Command line has advantages for some tasks, but a GUI and a mouse are very comfortable. - Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
