I would like to request support for Ogg Vorbis files in Limewire. It's great that Limewire is now Open Source and its a great app. I was rather surprised, given the importance of open protocols which Limewire describes on its website, and the opensource/cross-platform nature of the code, that Ogg was not even supported in the "audio file" search. A built in player would be nice, too, but I would at least have expected an audio file search for 'Britney Spears' to have turned up at least one ogg.

Unencumbered audio formats are as important as unencumbered p2p protocols IMO.

Ogg doesn't stand a chance if the servents don't support it. All my (400+) shared audio files are ogg. My servent is quiet most of the time. Put in a few mp3's and the clients show up like a school of piranha!

In addition, ogg support could help network performance, at least to some degree, since ogg's tend to be higher in quality for the same bitrate then mp3s.
