Sure. But I think anyone is a fool if they don't honestly acknowledge what the major usage of MP3 is for. People may deny it to prove their point, but then there is a reality behind all of that that proves otherwise.
MP3 is used in many more venues than just piracy of copyrighted works. Many internet radio streams are MP3 (shoutcast and icecast both support mp3 streaming). RHL 9 can't play those streams. Well, actually, it can't play Real streams, either; or Windows Media streams either....
I often receive public service announcements for the radio station in MP3 form via e-mail. It's a drag to have to reboot to use Cool Edit Pro to unrip to wav for the automation system (which has a couple hundred gig of wav's for the air signal).
Having an mp3 to wave program. Then converting the files to ogg format might be a decent feature to have.
What are the laws about undoing mp3s? Can a mp3towave program be safely included?
There are a few programs that are available for windows. They can stream or play local ogg files. I like them better than most of the programs that play only mp3s.
Zinf is a pretty decent windows based program.
