DVD Audio: An Introduction
DVD Audio is a music format that is designed to offer improved audio performance
over CD. The new audio format can be used to provide listeners with Advanced
Resolution stereo and/or multi-channel (up to a maximum of six channels) music.
In order to play back DVD Audio discs, players have to be specially designed to
support the format. So far, consumer electronics manufacturers have announced a
range of DVD Audio players, including home decks, portable players and devices for
cars. DVD Audio has a sampling rate of up to 192kHz compared to a maximum of
44.1kHz for CD. It also supports resolutions of up to 24 bits, compared to 16bits on
CD. The idea behind DVD Audio is that it allows producers to give listeners a playback
experience that is much more faithful to the original master recording that has been
possible previously. DVD Audio discs have a much higher capacity than CDs. This extra space can be
used to provide audio at the highest possible quality or for longer recordings, or to
provide additional material, such as information on the artist, photos and even
video, all of which can be displayed on a television screen. Alternatively, DVD Audio
discs currently on the market from the likes of the Warner group of labels have the
audio content in both DVD Audio format and as Dolby Digital surround so that they
can be played back on regular DVD players. DVD Audio discs are navigable in the same way as DVD Video when played back on
a player connected to a TV set. Users can select the required track from an on-
screen menu and with an internet connection, can click on links to go to websites. These dual format discs are a good way to kick-start the market while DVD Audio
players are still relatively rare. The market will also be helped by combined DVD
Video and Audio players. Robert Armstrong is a contributor to The HDTV Tuner - a guide to the kit, the content and the
issues related to HDTV.

MP3 vs. WMA
There are just a few audio compression formats out there, just like there are only a few image compression formats (you may have heard of them: JPG, GIF, BMP). Two of the most popular audio formats are WMA, or Windows Media Audio, and MP3 (Short for MPEG, Moving Pictures Experts Group, Audio Layer 3). WMA is the older audio format, produced by Microsoft, to work with Microsoft's Windows media player.

Get Personal by Adding Your Voice to Your Site
Many customers in today's online business world are shopping around online for a reason; either they are too lazy to go to stores, do not like the masses of people, or they might just want to shop in the comfort of their home. What ever the reason might be, we can conclude that they are not in a store, but rather they are on your site. Just because your businesses is online doesn't mean that you can't conduct your business like that of a normal store. Compare your site to a clothing store in a mall for example. When the customer comes in, a sales representative normally comes to the door and asks if they need help. A web site doesn't normally do this, but you can if you want to. Record an audio clip that not only includes a sales pitch and introduction but also a site map that includes the important parts of the site. Not only are you getting personal with your customer, you are also pointing them in the direction of your product. Here are a few tips to keep in mind about audio clips:
