Hi All. I'm Cory. Lead on Ubuntu Studio. 1st post to this list. ;) I have a pickle of a issue for a little app I'm working on. It takes your FLAC collection and converts the entire thing to whatever format you want with a couple of simple options. Anyway, I'm unsure what extension to use for Vorbis audio because .ogg is legacy and .oga should be used now. Issue is, going .oga might render HW players that haven't updated to be able to use the extension. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg "The Xiph.Org Foundation decided to create a new set of file extensions and media types to describe different types of content such as .oga for audio only files, .ogv for video with or without sound (including Theora), and .ogx for applications." More reference: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions To me, the only way to further adoption is to use the extension by default. I talked to the oggenc dev and he has no intention of using .oga. So this is all very vexing to me as to which way to go. Do I use what is supposed to be the new replacement extension for Vorbis audio or do I continue to go with respected Xiph devs and continue to perpetuate a legacy extension with this little app of mine? -Cory \m/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
