Re: [ARSCLIST] Preservation media WAS: Cataloguing still :-)
you were clear except for the one detail. A number of programs can open
edit and resave as MP3 but none can restore full fidelity. Fraunhofer
I cannot think as a startup company, only as an audio engineer and a
listener. Audible did not serve my needs. Simple. I did credit them
14.95 for the product I bought!
Not meaning to sound mean, and I fully acknowledge that I can't drive
windows and it is my loss, but I don't mind...
I always record 24 bit, dither to 16 before converting and burnign
masters for replication...

Do the cutting/dividing BEFORE saving to MP3. Then, if you want the
undivided file as the MP3, save that to MP3. I'm assuming you recorded
in full-resolution WAV, no? By the way, Soundforge will open and edit
and re-save MP3 files. Started with Version 7, when Sony finally
ponied the full monty to the Germans who own the MP3 patents. There
are also several rudamentary but usable MP3 editing programs, at least
in the Windows world there are.
Regarding Audible and Macs -- try to think of this from the point of
view of a limited-funds startup company. Are you going to go after 5%
of potential users or 95%? I'm surprised they ever had the resources
to do a Mac version. That, again, is a credit to their innovative
spirit and skill set.
