I'm a freshman this year in a CompTech program. I have no idea what I want to do as a career, except that it lies in the area of computers, physics, and mathematics.
This summer I'm looking to get a coop at IBM. I've got a friend there that is trying to see if he can take me on as a coop. He's also friends with the coop director, which might help. I have no idea if what I'll be doing is want I'll want to be doing, but I need to sink my teeth into some real-life possibilities if I have any hope of settling on a career field.
I record weekly speeches to post on a website. The best format for recording speech I found was Windows Media format. However, due to my aversion to MS, I switched to RealAudio, which was still good, but not quite as good as WMA.
I use RealAudio 16KB/s, which is perfect quality for my needs. Is there an open-source alternative that offers comparable voice compression?

I've got realplayer installed, but the videos work neither in mozilla or netscape for me.
