wow.... thx for the lengthly response McoreD! I'm mostly interested in ogg because it's open source. (Don't get my wrong, I do hate M$ too :P ) Anyways, I will experiment a little later... anyone else care to share their experiences?

Yea, I've been using MP3 128kb for forever, but just started to get into ogg... I use SIMPLE ( http://www.geocities.com/simplelance/index.html ), which is one of most "simple" and efficient encoding programs (freeware, btw) to use out there. Check it out...

Thanks,
CaP
