OGG, anyone?

(1/2) > >>

Chris:
I got an E-mail recently from someone (not from here) asking for OGG Vorbis support in DOSCab/WinCab Jukebox.  Is anyone here really using this as a music format, or is this just likely to be an Open Source-evangelist kind of thing?

papaschtroumpf:
The OGG format will probably remain somewhat marginal for album music, even though some portable players do support it. I have a lot of background tracks for (non-arcade) games in OGG format, I'm not sure I'd want them as part of a jukebox selection though. They'd work better as mamewah background music for example.
On the other hand, supporting the format would be a plus, it all depends how hard it is to link it any kind of open source library to support the format...

StephenH:
There is not a lot of commercial support for OGG from a music perspective, but OGG does sound good, if you use an open source ripper tool to rip CDs in to OGGs.

Loca Records is one of the few labels to release songs in OGG Format.

SirPeale:
OGG is cool.  Having support for it would rock.

MrDT:
OGG is a good format, and the files tend to be smaller than mp3s, but can anyone actually be bothered converting their entire mp3 collection or re-ripping their cd collection. I, for one, certainly could not be arsed  :P
