::Trouble with OGG is that basically nobody comes here with the software to play it - only after asking why the hell you can't hear the music do people usually learn about it. This was actually brought up on Wikipedia, but OGG supporters couldn't really come up with any advantages over using that format over more common WMV, MP4, or MPG formats, and yet still refused to budge from their standpoint, saying "How hard is it to click a link and download a file?" not realizing that people shouldn't be ''expected'' to have to download extra crap which they're NEVER GOING TO HAVE TO USE ANYWHERE ELSE OF THE WHOLE FRIGGING INTERNET just to listen to ten-second clips of music. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}} 20:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC) | ::Trouble with OGG is that basically nobody comes here with the software to play it - only after asking why the hell you can't hear the music do people usually learn about it.

:::No, the reason it's used is because it's free, and really the only decent lossy free format. Wikipedia won't use proprietary format's as the encyclopaedia itself is free, and it's a non-profit organisation, and would incur fees or something. And there's no need for any Ogg-playing software: the player uses Java, which the majority of internet users have, or optionally Quicktime or VLC, which many don't. Only problem is Java's slow; a flash-based Ogg player would be nice, but I don't know if MW has any such extensions.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} | |||
