According to amiga developers and elite users, ogg is useless. MP3 is the only format worth using, since it is has commercial support. The fact that there are ogg-players for anything from cellular phones and PDAs to dedicated players, home entertainment systems and even Windows and MacOS, is to be ignored. MP3 is just soooo much better than ogg vorbis anyways; the mp3 files are much smaller and have way better quality, ogg files have crappy sound and are way bigger.  Also, there are tools to convert those few odd files you might find to mp3, so you can play them on your mp3 player. You will then also notice how crappy the sound quality of those oggs really are.

Shame on you for bringing this topic to the surface again.  :-x

Joking? Would I ever be joking?

I was being sarcastic, not the same.

And those arguments I brought forward was argumentsthat was tossed in my face when I wanted ogg support, months and years ago.

Personally the lack of ogg support basicly has meant that I sadly have stopped using amigas for sound as well, as most of the files I have are oggs. My experience is that ogg gives more value/size, and I use it on all my devices, except the amigas, be it phone, pda, workstation, media centre...  8-)

There is afaik one program that will play ogg on amiga - Frogger.
