Yeah, that is what I have found so far, its mp3... but no flac or ogg
which is really dumb, since these two formats are superior in all areas,
and if you are going to burn a audio disk, then it has be decoded first,
so, ripping in mp3 format is a waste of time, since you are not limited by 
size, it by TIME, case in point, had 20 mp3 files, and time was 78 mins,
but size was under 200 megs.. then I had 18 ogg files, which was about
615 megs.. in size. and the time was 73 mins. ( for a 80 min cd-r )

I did in fact, pitch this on the k3b email list... he maybe looking into it,
however, if a few more devel chime in on this, that would be great.
its getting to the point, why bother to burning audio disc (cd-r),
if ogg or flac are not going to be supported.

which leaves, flash or mini-hard drive players.. even those are far and few..
but, still none of the ogg player stated, they support replaygain tags..
that is the whole key to all. 

replaygain should be the industry standard, to be used on mp3 ogg flac.. hey 
even wav / pcm files.
