It's a) royalty-free b) it's better quality audio in a smaller file c) it's patent-free d) I'm sure there are other reasons too.</p> <p>I'm sure everyone reading this blog knows of my stubborn insistence on free as in freedom, so I bet my attitude about this is no surprise :-)</p> Yep :-) it’s an iRiver H340.

I’m sure everyone reading this blog knows of my stubborn insistence on free as in freedom, so I bet my attitude about this is no surprise :-)

As was said, for those of us who couldn't make it - its a great way to "be there" in a sense. Wish all the sessions were made available - would even be willing to pay money for them. keith</p> Thanks for the audio from the conference.
