Ogg-Vorbis is the sweetest audio encoder!
Have used it only on one file, but to quote Mo Threat, its the
shiznit
encodes in about the same time as MP3s, sound quality is better for the bitrate (ie 128kbps in ogg is better than in mp3), and the plugins and encoders are tiny!
Best thing is tho, is that the whole thing is open source and free, so no one needs a license to use it!
i was actually gonna suggest that maybe ppl submit their soundtracks using it, but it aint as widespread as MP3
