Personally, I don't feel that using mp3s is morally wrong or wrong in a free software sense. I use mpg321, which is Free. Most of my songs are either ripped off CDs that I legally purchased or remixes of songs from videogames. (ocremix.org and vgmix.com) But regardless, ogg isn't commonplace yet and mp3s seem to have better quality, though I don't know much about the ogg format. In any case, I will still continue to work on my mp3 player. I'm still welcome to suggestions about this code, but I've decided to go a bit deeper. See my other node in Seekers of Perl Wisdom for further information.
