[advocacy] Vorbis Audio CD Burners (was Re: OGG Vorbis support (fwd))

[John Zitterkopf]

We intend to include Vorbis support into CDMaster32 in two months. With
any luck we'll beat Nero and Roxio to the market. 8)

We are actively seeking a few "vorbis" beta testers to help us ensure our
vorbis implementation is complete and bug free.

Please check out www.vorbis-burner.com for more information.

If your interested in beta testing for us; please send a request to
support at zittware.org.

EE's do it 'til it Hz 8-)
