Burning Ogg Vorbis tracks to audio CD

In my opinion, I find MP3's quality to be very respectable. The sound is still more than clear enough for the music to be enjoyable, and the broad hardware support is definitely an advantage. I often listen to music outside of the computer, either on a portable device or on a full-size system, and it's actually handy to be able to put many songs (more than a regular audio disc) on a single disc. I also listen to normal audio CDs, but for downloaded music, which is in huge majority in MP3, hardware players that support that format are nice. If another format was to be as widely supported by hardware, and its sound would also be great (i.e. not WMA), I might consider switching to it.

It's been a while since I've followed the codec scene, but wasn't Ogg Vorbis actually inferior to MP3 at high bitrates (and superior at low ones)? MPC was considered better than those two at high bitrates, and even achieving it at a smaller filesize. If this still stands, shouldn't you OGG-users switch to MPC?

The easy solution to satisfy everyone (or almost) in the music sharing scene would be to provide everything in lossless. This would make the dial-up users cry, and would somehow waste bandwith, but at least everybody would have the power to select his encoder and settings of choice. Or, another way would be to have people buy their own original albums and do their own game rips. This, in fact, might also make them more appreciative of the music, and not go nuts about how free (and mostly illegal) music files may not sound 100% perfect.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've already stated my reasons (MP3 is not "perfect", but it still has very good quality and is the most practical format so far), so I won't continue to make my fingers go around it, but what I'd like to hear about is how you would compare OGG vs. MPC, since MPC is superior from what I know and I don't see why you would favor OGG over it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
