Seems a bit strange from a company who's SDK comes with some of the following classics: > You can't use the SDK to develope a transcoder. > You can't convert to any in-between format on disk in case someone 'borrows' it. > You can't use it to add support for real into products that support other formats (E.g. MS, Apple).
I'm not saying that a players for other OS's is bad, but why do I get the feeling (WARNING PARANOIA MODE ON) that there trying to keep people distracted. "Come and play with our code. Don't bother about those other 'real' open source ones, use ours!" Is it just me or is the timing a little too good (E.g. last month Xiph talk about Theora, and last week Vorbis goes gold.)

Do you think that someone should tell Microsoft that the J2SDK doesn't compile for anything less that 1.2 unless you kick it.
