If, for example, Logitech negotiates licensing terms for the WMA codec that charges them per codec supported by the device, then it is in their finincial interests to reduce the number of supported codecs as much as possible. I have no idea if such terms exist, but it would be not unlike the licensing terms for OEMs that charges them per unit shipped, regardless of the MS software on the unit (which works as an incentive not to ship non-MS software). Yes, it's a bit conspiratorial, but it's precedented. I seriously doubt anything like this would happen, but you asked for possible motivations... More likely scenario: support for bugs in non-proprietary codecs (other than MP3) will be de-prioritized, as will support for non-mainstream features. Who cares if you can't fast-forward through a Vorbis file? Nobody uses Vorbis anyway! Who cares if gapless doesn't work on synced players? Hardly any devices support gapless playback anyway! That sort of thing. I sure hope not, but you never know. -- CatBus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CatBus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7461 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28821 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
