	TWUUG ( Tidewater VA LUG ) had a presentation on intranet radio at the
	last meeting. The presenter, who is a radio professional, talked about the
	domestic multi-channel intranet radio system he'd hacked together for his
	home. He likes OGG but presently all 1700 of his CDs are MP3. He does
	however plan to redo the entire collection into OGG in the not too distant
	future and will be doing so from the original disks for exactly the
reasons
	Ira points out. He has a headless box in his "closet" dedicated to ripping
	CDs on load so its merely a matter of changing CDs every once in a while
	One interesting thing is that he claims his hearing is abysmal due to many
	years in high ambient noise environments but that at the frequencies he
can
	hear, OGG is marginally superior to MP3.
