Does anyone know if its feasible to convert PCM/FLAC files to some compressed format (mp3/wma/ogg, not picky), with the conversion process running on Azure?
An Amazon EC2 based solution would be trivial, as 3rd party libraries could be installed; but what about Azure?
With Azure 1.3 one can now install basic software to web and worker roles by RDPing and installing. For automated tasks a VM role can also be created. Between the two, this could be solved.
