Description zengelman 2006-03-28 04:39:19 UTC

It would be great if you could add the option to stream in ogg format in addition to the already available mp3 format in player/audio/lame and bitrate limiting options

Ogg sounds soooo much better in streaming at lower bitrates.

Thanks

Bug#16242 is marked WONTFIX, which probably makes this feature request unworkable, as .ogg streams can't be reliably synced.

Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.

unworkable, as .ogg streams can't be reliably synced."

if this were true then Spotify wouldn't have a business model. Spotify streams only OGG format.

So if Spotify can do it reliably why can't Logitech?

We use the Ogg Vorbis format for streaming. There are three quality ratings that we use:"
