i say we should all bin mp3 and use ogg that way we are totaly out of there grasp
An excellent suggestion. I made the decision maybe 2 years ago (can't remember exactly) to use ogg exclusively for all new music files. I haven't missed mp3 at all. In fact ogg probably sounds better. My preferred command is: oggenc infile.wav -q 9 out.ogg Unfortunately I have a high number of older music files in mp3 format. As time permits I go back to the original CDs and re-rip to ogg, but I have not made much progress. Until now I have enjoyed "out of the box" mp3 playing with the SuSE retail version. I am very disappointed by its removal. I think most retail customers would willingly pay a small amount added to the price of each box to cover the mp3 patent fees.
