I can hear it and I can SEE(analyzed) it.

And CDs are all ready so damn lossy it makes no sense to use something as good or bulky as FLAC. Ogg (or the $ ripoff, MP3) can do just as well, nearly equaling the CD quality.

MP3 would NEVER be the best choice! First, it’s proprietary and can’t be distributed with Linux distro unless someone has paid for the rights to do that. Major negative points! And being common doesn’t make it good in any way.

Ogg is just as good as MP3 in EVERY way, compression, quality, etc. plus it is included FREE in every Linux distro that does any audio software. It’s only negative is that it is not supported by most hardware players.

Did a Win only user write this article? It sure was NOT an experience Linux user! They would have known better.
