Er - tell them about it, and send them the files as oggs with a link to the Zinf player (www.zinf.org)? If free software people don't put themselves out a bit for free formats, then why should others? My kids think I am slightly deranged to keep all our CDs in oggs rather than the mp3s their friends use, but at least they know a bit about the rationale, and if they need them on a phone they can transcode them to lower the quality/size. > Its > acceptance is growing slowly, but it has been several years already and > there are still few hardware players which support it. Likewise for hardware - Samsung, Cowon (iAudio), iRiver (to give just the big names) all make players for oggs - my son got a Samsung at Christmas. It's just a matter of looking for them. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
