<p>Hi,
<br>
<br>in my opinion ogg/vorbis should be good enough, but it requires to install the extra codecs. If you prefer a proprietary solution mp3 is also quite good, and you can encode on your favourite linux distro withe lame.
<br>
<br>I don't suggest to try esotheric experiments like g729 encapsulated in a container format.
<br>
<br>Regards

<br>> Hi all,
<br>>  I need to install on the device a few (I guess around 10-20) audio
<br>> files with some seconds of speech each (it's for GPS navigation).
<br>> What file format do you suggest to use, considering that one requirement
<br>> is that the audio is played almost immediately (the lag should be under
<br>> 1 second) when I request it to?
<br>>
<br>> The 22Khz 16bit WAV from the sound recorder sound good, but they are a
<br>> bit "heavy", taking more than 100Kb for 3 seconds of speech.
<br>> I'm a bit concerned because I'll eventually ship translations for these
<br>> audio files in different languages, so they might end up taking quite
<br>> some space.
<br>>
<br>> Ciao,
<br>>  Alberto
