quite some time ago i came across a D+D audio sampler cd with various soundtracks (composed i believe by midnight syndicate, although i may be wrong) among them was a sample of a cd that was effectivly an audio mimir.
and the creators explaining that cd is a great medium as you can skip straight to the track you want to hear and it adds a bit more depth and realism to the game.
it occurs to me now, that it would be not only possible but also amazingly viable and useful to do somthing in an mp3 format.
if its done as an audio wiki kind of thing, where anyone could add to it and download the bits that they need, it would feel like an actual in game mirmir, and all you would need is somthing to play the mp3 (or ogg or whatever format)
the main problem i would forsee is that it would take somewhere to host it.
any thoughts on this idea?
also, i recall seeing an advert on the old planewalker site where you could buy the old audio mirmir on mp3 as well as other planescape e-books.
does anyone recall where that site is.
many thanks

That'd be a lot of work and I think it's nearly impossible that every cutter follows the same template for the tracks - that means if you want to make it similar to the mimir from Player's Guide to the Outlands, complete with short introduction by the mimir's metallic voice and a following text by some planar blood.
Maybe someone could create a reading voice similar to Microsoft Sam that uses the mimir-voice.
