Thanks for the comments Ima and Fargus.

This process is slow for me because I'm testing the applications. If anyone has significant experience in certain areas I will trust their judgment and we can make this quicker and less painful (for me anyway).

One thing to note: I personally don't want to clutter a final table up with numerous options. The goal here is to standardize where it makes sense and offer preferred solutions, not every solution. So a messy table is okay while we hash this out but ultimately I think we should only show alternatives in extreme cases.

File formats is the main goal here, but applications are important since the right choices can minimize overall aggravation.

I agree with the comment about UTF-8, and understand the concern about mp3. I was reluctant to put it in there due to the codec issue and we can always pull it out.

Maybe I can run polls after this building process to narrow the selections.
