If the material is basically just speech, you should be able to drastically reduce the MP3 bit rate, possibly down to as little as 32Kb/s, or your could use GSM coding at 13.6kb/s. This assumes that it isn't already low bit rate. Another tactic that might help, if available, is to set HTTP caching headers on the server to try and minimise the number of cache misses that actually require the file to be fetched (most web designers seem to go out of their way to frustrate caching, but this will be a case where the material should never change). -- David Woolley "we do not overly restrict the subject matter on the list, and we encourage postings on a wide range of amateur radio related topics" List Guidelines <http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_list_guidelines.htm> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
