And keep the feedback coming on this list too - Tristan Ferne is now looking after the project for us in R&Mi, so feel free to get in touch with him too.
We're looking at both pragmatic chaptering and social aspects around annotating content with this one, and liaising with ID3 working group (Tristan is, via Kingswood Warren) to look at formats with chapters, in addition to AAC etc. Best, Dan. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James > Sent: 31 October 2005 18:25 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [backstage] annotatable audio > > > Looks awesome. > > Suppose you create the chapter's for the file, is the intention that > this can be made available for download and perhaps combine > to use the > ID3 v2 "CHAP" Chapters?
