Eh? LEctures maybe, but examples in mp3 format? That
doesn't sound like a good way to convey the examples to me.

I don't have the credentials to question Mr. Everest's
media choice, and being as he's been dead for some time,
we can't goto the source for an explanation.

I"m sure it was pure economics. But again, considering the
subject matter of the lectures and the examples, I"d pay a
bit more to have them in at least 16 bit 44.1 for my
edification. I'd figure listening to samples of different
mastering techniques etc. in mp3 would be like looking at an exhibit of paintings through a smudged dirty glass
windowpane.

However, my guess is that the publisher wanted to get
the [estimated] 4+ hours of recorded material on one CD.
[YMMV]
May also be worth noting that the copyright is 2 years
after his death.

OF course, and pure economic reasoning.

MR. Everest's books are quite well done, and I"m sure these
were too. Too bad the publishers made the choices they
made.

Richard
