Not that anyone really cares what I'm doing, but until this Alcatel
thing, I never thought that I was infringing on someone's patent
"rights" by ripping music to MP3. I did it because it pretty much worked
everywhere without hassle, though I knew that Ogg was supposed to be better.
Now, I'm looking at alternatives such as Ogg and FLAC.
Ogg Vorbis home page:
http://www.vorbis.com/
FLAC page:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
So, looks like I'll be spending the next couple of weeks re-ripping the
hundreds of CDs in my collection.
