Perhaps you should ask Apple to include non-patented formats in their products. You probably won't find the Linux community interested in supporting a new and potentially closed format that already has an open source replacement. BTW, your iPod may look cool but there are other devices like the iRiver HP-120 that play far more formats than an iPod and don't put any restrictions on how you use your own music. -lee On May 11, 2004, at 5:18 PM, Florin Andrei wrote: > On Tue, 2004-05-11 at 13:42, Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: >> On 11 May 2004 10:13:45 -0700 >> Florin Andrei <florin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> Anyone has any kind of information about the Apple Lossless codec? >>> Any chance to get a Linux implementation? >> >> There is alrady an implementation.
