: Hmm, Ogg Vorbis files might have worked in one or two versions of Aleph One
: for Windows by accident. It was certainly never intentional.
: I suppose it could be added as a feature request, but I really don't want to
: turn Aleph One into a generic music file player.
There are some reasons oggs are a Good Idea; they're somewhat better than mp3s at compressing audio to a given quality (or, to put it another way, for the same file size oggs sound better) and there are no licensing issues with ogg as there are with mp3, but if the music is already mp3 then it ought to stay as such. Oggs are a surprisingly common choice for game music (Unreal engine games new enough to use static meshes, so Unreal 2/UT2003 and later; Serious Sam; Grand Theft Auto San Andreas) and it would make sense to eventually support them. I'm not suggesting you start figuring out WMA or some such, though. If you want to treat this as a feature request, put it under "it would be lovely if this could be done one day", rather than "do this in the previous version you lazy [epithet]".
