'Tis true. I wonder then why there isn't more support for it in the consumer electronics arena. Does ogg take up significantly more 'oomph' (for lack of a better word) to encode/decode than mp3? Or is it that it takes up more space for the code? Maybe they can't target mp3 and ogg, and since mp3 is more common, they pick that. But mp3 support is more common. I was kinda amazed to see that there's a portable that plays mp3 cd and regular cd. I'm thinking I just might pick that thing up soon. > LX > > P.S. You can use SoX for converting from mp3 to ogg. Sure. I jsut tried it - it's as simple as saying 'sox file.mp3 file.ogg'. And you don't need space for storing the wav output file separately. Unless of course, it stores it somewhere like /tmp. For sometime, the stock version of 'sox' didn't support ogg vorbis, so that when the people started talking about recording stuff off the internet, I had to get source and enable that. But it seems that at least for cooker, the stock sox has that support built back in again. Neat... I think I'll go back to ogg for radio encoding for now then. But then usenet tends to like mp3 ;). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
