Have you thought about putting it up as a podcast on iTunes?



No, but a recent girlfriend had iTunes and I found it to be nightmarish
compared with my simple method of using Winamp and just putting mp3s in
folders like any other files -- so I never thought about it.

Amarok is the music player to beat. Itunes, like all things Apple, is
more style than substance. Can't even play ogg vorbis or flac.

Ogg Vorbis is where it is at ... totally free, totally open source,
totally unemcumbered by patents ... it should be the standard were lossy
audio is quite acceptable, amateur/SW communications being a prime
example ... I prefer it over .mp3 format for my music which uses
compression ... however, I am too lazy to covert the highly acceptable
..mp3 to ogg for casual listening.

Audio which I archive for storage, I usually trancode to ogg, because of
the free nature stated above ... I simply wish industry would switch
over to ogg as the prevalent standard and drop the costly other forms of
encoding ... beats windows media audio and AAC hands down ...

This page is an excellent argument for all the above:
