I would hope they stay away from propriertary windows formats. Just in
case, _in case_, they decide to go to another platform -- like linux for example. -- --Bowen-- No of SETI units returned: 44 Processing time: 36 days, 0 hours. (Total hours: 864) www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu dlp anneJul 25, 2003, 8:47pm
Or they could just allow all known sound formats and let the user pick what
one they wish to use. [View Quote] johnJul 25, 2003, 9:22pm
Bowen, if you examine WMA files you will noticed that a WMA can hold the
same MP3 file with about 3x more compression. ~John [View Quote] agent1Jul 25, 2003, 10:04pm

Bowen's point was that, regardless of the efficiency of the format, AW should stick to "open" ones in order to avoid locking out certain users. Something like Ogg Vorbis would make a good addition to AW as it seems to compress my music files better than MP3 as well as being a free, open source format.
