From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think that people overstate MP3's losses, and I agree at 320k that it's inaudible, but I can or at least have been able to tell at 128k, mostly with cymbals. Granted, cymbals aren't that common, but it's nice to not have them sound muddy. And, honestly, there just isn't a lot of reason to use MP3 for anything compressed today, other than maybe hardware decoding on very small devices and widespread support. There are open standards that are better.
Oh, for sure. See my other comments. Opus is probably my favorite as well.
