<p><p>Reading the "Wednesday, 2002-02-06 at 23:05 CST" edition.

<p>"The the trick is to remove little bits of information in places where it can't be perceived."
        -- has a double "the" in it.
        
"The problem is, bitrates only speak to the size of the file, not its quality."
        -- should be "problem is that bitrates"
        
"And, as more sophiticated psychoacoustic models are developed"
        -- should be "sophisticated"
        
"since it gives sound quality better than an 128 Kbps mp3 but is over 10% smaller"      
        -- "than an 128" should be "than a 128"
        
"Folks wanting sound almost identical to an 128 Kbps mp3"       
        -- "to an 128" should be "to a 128"
        
"from a higher bitrate file without reencoding and at the same quality" 
        -- "reencoding" should preferably be "re-encoding"

        
Other than that, the document is wonderful. I hope to see it soon on vorbis.com.
