Comment Ditching MP3 (Score 1) 544
If you think about it for a second, MP3 really is getting close to being decade-old technology. The great people in the LAME crew have pulled a lot out of the format since then, and LAME encoded files have surpassed not only the Fraunhofer codec itself, but definetly kick some other formats' asses. Still, it can only last so long. With the open-sourcicity (sourcery? sourcity?) of OGG, and it's relative youthfulness in comparison to MP3, it probably has the best shot at stealing MP3s crown. Besides the fact that that it sounds damn good.
If the developers (hey, if you can code, why not lend a hand?) can bring out Version 1.0 (It's RC3 right now) in the not-all-too-distant-future, and it gets just a teensy little bit of hardware support, Ogg Vorbis is well on it's way to the mainstream.
