Let's say that AAC and Vorbis are of comparable quality. Both utterly destroy PCM WAV. > "Widely adopted ... in portable media players?" Really? iPod? Zune? Cowon/iAudio, iRiver, LG, Samsung, SanDisk, Creative, Google. Those are a few of the companies that support Vorbis: http://wiki.xiph.org/PortablePlayers These companies are huge patent troll magnets. None of them got sued over Vorbis. Remco
