I use ogg, and only ogg, for all my compressed audio. I do have access to mp3 but I have all the vorbis tools available for free courtesy of Debian, Xiph and others.

Though it also occurs to me that the package description for Debian should say "into track-separated ogg files." -- Regards, Iain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
