Reply-To: david@weekly.org From: update@david.weekly.org Subject: EPAC Coming, MP3 Summit, Collaborative Filtering To: update@david.weekly.org j u n e 2 0 , 1 9 9 9 ----------------------------- Update #6 ----------------------------- -----<< CODEC COMPARISONS >> I have reserved CodecReview.com and have begun work on the backend database that will allow head-to-head comparisons of various audio codecs. If you would like to help with the encoding process (it's lengthy), I'd much appreciate it, and you'd get prominently mentioned in the credits. =) EPAC is still in the works, but a deal is definitively on its way. Lucent has had this locked up for the last decade or so, so they're a little shy about releasing samples so publicly, but rest assured, I'll break it to you. -----<< 1999 MP3 SUMMIT REPORT >> I attended the 1999 MP3 Summit and came back with some things to chew on: http://david.weekly.org/writings/mp3-writeup2.shtml -----<< COLLABORATIVE FILTERING >> I think collaborative filtering is going to be key to the future of the online audio industry. Read why: http://david.weekly.org/writings/collab.shtml -----<< SITE REDESIGN >> I've settled on a new design for the site, which should go into effect in the next few days, hopefully. Check it out and tell me what you think. http://david.weekly.org/beta/
