Ogg improves on mp3 in several ways. I have too many gadgets
with mp3 support - ogg needs to have hardware support before
I seriously look at it. Ogg will be supported on a few
hardware gadgets starting next year.

If you have Winmap 2.8 or later (standard install) you
already have Ogg playback support and you can give the
format a try.

you're right, it's a very young format, but maybe the coming
future...

I still prefer the mp3pro codec. with vbr bitrates of up to
128kps the sound quality exceeds that of an ogg.

Ogg Vorbis and MP3pro have not the same purpose. Ogg Vorbis
is an open alternative to MP3. and MP3pro is a low bitrate
MP3 -> good for voice / low quality encoding.

mp3pro tops out at 96 kbps, doesn't it?

The only listening test I've seen with both ogg and mp3pro
included ended with those formats in a "statistical dead
heat" for 1st place.

mp3pro advertises "compatibility with mp3." While this is
true in the strictest sense of the word, any mp3pro file you
play on a player with mp3 only support is going to sound
really bad.

Oggs an interesting format but MP3 is too entrenched in the
market for it ever to catch up...

Some players let you play em (the fireware upgradeable
ones...)...but they are still quite rare...

Plus it's harder to get OGGS from p2p systems...everyone has
MP3s with very few OGGS to be found at all....

I'm sticking with me LAME encoded MP3s...

Ogg is the future because:
- uses VBR by default
- open source / GPL / etc.
- A great DJ mix in OGG (tribaltechno)

OGG's great, but yea... there's no coming back from MP3.
