My wife got an MP3 player so she could have something to listen to while she jogged and trained and lost weight. What am I supposed to tell her? "Sorry honey, we only use OGG in this house. You're going to have to hum to yourself." There's a certain point at which practicality trumps politics. Especially when we're not talking life or death here. We're talking about music encoding. I don't think the fate of the world rests on it. I could be wrong. Preston
