Both mp3 and ogg remove information from the original that they claimm the human ear cannot hear. However, apparently they remove *different* information, and the sum of both removals is, I am told, something the human ear *can* hear. So don't do that. Don't convert mp3 to ogg. But acquiring new music in ogg format is fine, as long as it hasn't been converted from mp3 before you get it, of course, -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
