    What about other audio formats? (FLAC/OGG/M4A/etc)

    That's right, practical solutions are always the best suited alternative. The thought of being entirely independent is a tempting one, it's definitely a very cool idea, however it's not always the best thing to target.

    OCRemix is very successful as it is now, and for what i can see there is no problem in using mp3 format... i think. Or... have you ever had some kind of limitation?

    Anyway, i thought maybe ogg would be a solution to overcome any possible limitation with mp3, but it seems there's no such a barrier and moreover, the change would perhaps be a practically bad move.

    Besides, i guess if at some point the limit existed, you guys would already had evaluated the possibility to change.

    Well, you're right about portable music players, it's a shame they not always support open formats. Regarding to songbird, it seems they're stopping it's linux version development. However you're right... VLC is a strange choice for a recommended music player.

    I remember, i got Relics of the Chozo (great album) and there were ogg files in the package, i didn't remember that.

    Well, it seems it is not such a good idea to change the file format, but i still feel like there should be a way. Well, we'll have to keep thinking.

    Hi, my name is Marco Pérez, and though i've been an ocremix fan for a long time now, i had never registered into this forum until now.

    And this is because i wanted to make the suggestion of using a free audio format like ogg as the default format for the great OC Remixes housed here. This, in order to support the campaign and to have a free and high quality audio format in which we can rely on, with no patent issues or particular owners.

    For more info on this and a detailed explanation, read here.

    I really believe making the effort of switching to a free open format, will make the OC Remix community a bit more independent. It would be great. Thanks for reading!
