I can't remember why was the decision to have each sora in a separate file taken. > I was working on GST > and it support very accurate seeking (measured in nano second and > depending on file format it degrades to millisecond 0.001 sec) I'd vote for that also. It makes handling mass files easier. A quick application to aid marking the end of each aya can also be developed so what you need to do is listen to the sora, press a button at the end of each aya and the application will record it in a text/XML file. This makes it easier to utilize all the existing recordings available out there. The only problem I can see is when a reader doesn't stop at the end of the aya. What to do with that (It's the same problem with the previous way anyway) ? > I try it and it was very easy to be implemented > (within one day I have designed a GTK+ testing application) > > one file per sura means that we could add a new recitation without > reencoding and loose audio quality You don't need to reencode.
