really heard any other format (including stuff like WMA) that sounds
appreciably better.......


FLAC, in particular, is open-source and has a great number of advocates
and a large distributed development team. I understand that some
hardware music players for Vorbis and FLAC are entering the market in
the US at the moment; wonder how long it'll be until we see them here.
