Re: [microsound] mp3 label practicalities, ogg impracticalities

yeah, well i'm a mac user and had the same problem as ph!L. couldn't open any of
the ogg files... and because it was so annoying i stopped tracking down tracks
in ogg format. it's possible that this has changed now, but don't we already
have a big enough mess with all the non-standards. at least i can just download
any mp3 track and open up in quicktime or wherever without having to bother. i'd
rather have things work... greets to the list, ralph.
