I hope that Ogg will be successful, then I will make a >portable-hd-player thing, and 'code all my cds to it. > (next concerns mostly portable terminals) Personally I doubt that OGG - even though it is propably very great - would have any chance anymore. MP3 made digital music popular but new formats with digital rights management systems are already here and more are coming. I mean, now that we got MP3 into every tech-gadget (like the new Nokia phone) it's quite unlikely that all that would be replaced by any other format than something developed by the big companies to protect their investments. Even MP3 is going down in some aspects since almost every new thing has their own formats which MP3 is first converted into before they're put into a portable terminal. eg. Sony's Network Walkmans have their own Atrac stuff & what ever and the new Nokia has propably also some own format (AAC). Of course I'm known to be wrong pretty often. =) h
