Winamp developers tell users not to use WMA or MP3Pro

We’ve all heard about the benefits of using OGG and open source/patent free formats (although some of us choose not to listen), but now even our most respected, renegade, AOL software developers are getting in on the preaching.



From the article (CDFreaks.com):

These formats are all lossy compression formats and have all a potential to become big players on the music compression market. But the Winamp developers encourage you to either stick to MP3 (with LAME) or use Ogg Vorbis (New open source lossy compression method).
