Is MP3 best?
And what if I have a .mp3 file, which I convert to a .ogg file and distribute that .ogg file? Do I need a license?

Aha, so when I distribute that ogg file, I don't have to pay. It's no problem that the ogg file has been a mp3 file in the past?

Legally it isn''t a problem. However, if you ever convert from one lossy compressed format to another you lose a lot of sound quality.

Ok, thanks!
(BTW, I edited my post while you were writing your reply)
go for mp3 if you can do your decoding without killing your graphics performance.
less memory in theory, but you''ve got to have your destination buffer as well, cos your stream/file comes in as compressed and yeah.....
on a disk, its smaller. in memory its bigger.
cda is good for some things, not others. native handling by everything is good
i tend to use whatever my music people make, actually
ever heard of flp?
good format that...
if you can render it in realtime....
die or be died...i think
