...Well, personally, I chose the way on listening music depending on
my needs and compressed formats are just an alternative.

If I just want BGM, mp3 is good enough.  I encoded almost all the rock
and pop CDs I have into mp3.  Especially about 60's and 70's music, they
haven't got any better music source.  However, I have not touched any
of my classical music collection and am looking forward to SACD and any
other development in this area.

One thing I can say about this topic is that whether mp3, vorbis, MA,
vynal or SACD, they are just alternatives for my style of enjoying music.
 We are not forced to stuck with one of the formats above as they are
offering us choices (Of course, some with money but what if you find
they worth it?).

Anyway, the name Ogg seems to appear in the CD-RW forum (http://cd-rw.org/forum).
 Thanx to Alexander, I have been around the web to see compression forums
to find MP3 especially LAME is very popular.  Beside its quality, the
popularity of LAME seems to also depend on its custamisability.  We can
chose how to compress wav to MP3 depending on our needs and tastes. 
LAME gives MP3 further alternatives than the orignal FIIS does.  This
enabled forums to let communicate the users and developers each other.

Can we see this phenomenon here or any other else on the net?  Of course,
I hope so.

P.S. I am also enjoying the new winamp plug-in.  The main inforamtion
is claearly sorted out and we can add any other piece of information
as well.  If database systems like comment editor or Dj tool are depeloped,
  it would be a fun.  E.g. 'Guitar-Edge' will lead us to even new 'Tomb
Raider' sound track whlie 'Guitar-Brian May' will do the same to 'Godzilla'
or 'Flash Gordon' sound track and any Queen albums.  Any way, thank you
for the plug-in,  Joshua.
