Ogg is the best. It doesn't have DRM, you don't have to pay a license if you include it in your software (unlike mp3), and it's up to CD quality (and even beyond).

Ogg Vorbis is indeed free and it sounds great to boot. Unfortunately, it has no built-in DRM, so none of those legal online music stores will touch it unless they tack on a proprietary DRM technology. If that happened, then we're right back to the problem with iTunes and the iPod: you're locked into a single brand of portable player and a single piece of PC software.
I expect the iPod/iTunes duo to get Netscaped by WMA-compatible stuff within a few years.

Dammit, why the *&$# do they assume DRM must be in legally downloaded music?
If we are gonna pay for something we don't need DRM. Magnatune has the right idea.
It's very very disturbing that people accept the idea that MS will "netscape" music and anything else it wants.

all these losers who think that by running Windows Media or iTunes, that somehow all of your music files that you spent hours stealing of kazaa are suddenly going to be locked and inaccessable
