What do you have against the MP3 format? Yeah, I know, proprietary, royalties... but I mean, do you hate it so much that you don't want your player to support it? I don't think there would be anyone who'd be crazy enough to get some player to market that doesn't play at least MP3. Most people don't know of any other formats and they don't care either. I do hope that we'll we able to, at some point, use only open formats, but right now I can't think of anything that doesn't support the closed formats. cmn -- Carlos Martín Nieto http://www.cmartin.tk "¿Cómo voy a decir bobadas si soy mudo?" -- CACHAI -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
