Cricket Oggcast 1: Condi Rice talks cricket

Launching my Cricket Oggcast, a podcast of downloadble audio files encoded in the Ogg Vorbis format.

I'm starting with a short piece taken from a press conference held in New Delhi on 15 March 2005, when US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice promised to Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh that she would learn to understand cricket. We're going to hold her to that promise.

It's only a small file, 36kb in size and approx 5 seconds in duration. Winamp and VLC can play ogg vorbis files without any trouble. Real Player, Windows Media Player, Quicktime Player and iTunes can with the aid of additional software. Portable media players are starting to add OGG support in addition to the royalty-protected MP3, WMA and AAC formats.

Feedback is most welcome (not the audio kind :-))
