interesting. I'm not computer scientist, but doesn't this depend on the
hardware chip in the device? Decoding ogg or even mp3 in software eats
CPU and therefor battery life.

The reason I like ogg is not only that I have some free music and ripped
CDs in ogg on my hard drive. My preferred broadcasting used real
streams in the past, but meanwhile they have switched to ogg stream. If
I record it for later "consumption", I couldn't play it back with
iTunes or one of the Apple hardware players.
I often use flac to save recordings losslessly (I'm a hobby musician),
but later on I convert it to ogg to save disc space.
Best regards,
ce
