There are many encoding products available on the market. NPR Distribution does not endorse any of these products or guarantee their suitability for this purpose. We encourage you to carefully research any product in which you are interested in to make sure it:
- is compatible with your platform;
- can convert from your master sound file format;
- can convert to all the required encoding formats; and
- can support future upgrades as new encoding standards are developed.
Please keep in mind that technology changes rapidly, and PRSS standards for electronic files are subject to change at any time.
Links to more information about many of the available tools are provided in the Getting Started section of this module.
