Very much so. In fact, more and more support is coming along for it all the time. Many of the new portable devices coming out of Taiwan, Japan and Korea play it these days. It does sound better than mp3, particularly at low bitrates. Whether it's better than WMA or AAC is open to debate (general consensus seems to be "about the same"), but I like openness. It's also the only lossy format I've been able to make play gapless reliably (which is essential for me). My Rio Karma (RIP) is full of 20GB of gapless Vorbis goodness :) -- radish _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
