One of the main concerns of the inclusion of the 7Digital music store into Canonical Ltd's offerings is the fact that it offers only two formats: MP3 and FLAC. FLAC is an incredibly large format and is not heavily supported across music players. Ogg, conversely, is supported on numerous mobile media players and devices and is comparable in size to MP3's. The Undersigned request that 7Digital offer their entire music collection in a second Free Software format, the abovementioned Ogg Vorbis. Is has no patents attached to it, and requires no proprietary codecs for playback. This would help spread acceptance of the Ogg Vorbis format, and would be heavily beneficial to Ubuntu users.

In short, we the Undersigned request that 7Digial Inc include all of their music in the Ogg Vorbis format alongside the other two formats.

    • Why wouldn't a company based on free software use a compatible patent-free format like OGG? FLAC is a step in the right direction, but far from ideal.

    • OGG is an important step to getting this partnership to work, and I think that if this goes off with out a hitch that more Distros will want to do this also

    • OGG Vorbis has many advantages, the main one being higher quality sound at a lower file size.
