Vorbis dev - Aug 2000 - J. River (makers of Media Jukebox) interested in helping with development...

Hello everyone,

This is Matt Ashland, a developer for J. River, the makers of the popular 
freeware program Media Jukebox. (some of you may know me better as the 
author Monkey's Audio).  Our development team here at J. River is quite 
interested in helping with the development of Ogg Vorbis.  The licensing 
restrictions of other formats (namely mp3) are becoming somewhat 
problematic for us, and we'd like to help develop the alternative.  Vorbis 
seems like the clear cut choice for a new, completely open and free 
standard.  In our tests, Ogg's sound quality is already superior to mp3 
(LAME or Fhg) and other formats on many of our tests.

Honestly, we're not completely sure how to jump in and start helping, or 
even if we'd be welcome.  If anyone could fill us in with some details, 
that'd be wonderful.  You can reach me at matt@jriver.com or through this 
mailing list.

Thanks for all of your awesome work on Ogg and take care.

-Matt Ashland (matt@jriver.com)
