Hurrah for Ogg Vorbis! Hurrah for Auntie!

I'm listening to a music station recommended by zotz, on an open source, non-patent-burdened music format, hurrah!

From the voice, it could be Elvis Costello, but maybe that's because purplerabbits has been playing a lot of that recently...

Given the disparity of our musical tastes, I'm not sure I know, but it's been OK for me so far. I just clicked on the link, selected XMMS as the application to open it with, and it started working.

Actually half the reason I did it was to boost their stats for Ogg listeners, but I've stayed because it sounds pretty decent...

XMMS is reporting consistently over 100 kbps, so this isn't one for modem people.

Steely Dan just finished - didn't like it much, but at least I know what the sound like. Now it's something OKish I don't recognise.
