Hmm, something is changing? I think whether Nokia is going to support ogg or not is somewhat besides the point. What should be supported is: - Addition of support for new codecs to the system (works, but the repository situation could be better) - All applications immediately able to use the new codecs - User opening a file (in browser or filemanager) encoded with the new codec should automatically open it in the correct player - Documenting how to achieve this This way Nokia doesn't need to be a bottleneck in getting new codecs for the users; community, commercial companies etc could then do it. - Eero
