Re: Developing replacement for AT

I really have to push out for WMA here, 95% of my audio is stored in WMA
format, I have no intent on re-recording or changing file formats to suit
someone else, as it works on all my devices (inc the portable ones) and I am
very happy with the quality vs. file size.

When I'm not listening to the WMA files, then I'm listening to Internet
radio (club 977 - 80's radio) especially.

It may not be want you want to hear, however if you are developing a
replacement for the AT then as a bare minimum, it should do everything that
the current AT does, including WMA and Internet Radio

Have you tried OGG Vorbis? Better compression and smaller file size than
MP3, the only reason I don't use it myself is because none of my
hardware devices (AT and in-car MP3 CD players) will support it.

If there's a way of including WMA without headaches then we'll
definitely look into it, on the grounds that we want to support as many
filetypes as possible.
