FUD about Ogg Theora appears endemic, particularly from Google (of all people). Here's the full technical rebuttal.
Best tech news story ever.
Backward compatibility is generally good. But some is just a bit more backward than others.

Down the Pembury with arkady to meet up with maxcelcat and woosang. Woosang got a good pic of me. Freda held out for longer than expected and we had three rather nice pints of Bear Ass.

James Ray's Gangwar are really rather good. James Ray is an old Andrew Eldritch crony; Gangwar are what Sisters of Mercy would have sounded like had Eldritch not disappeared up his own nose. I'm amazed I'd pretty much never heard of them in Australia.

I'm not so convinced you'll find all of it on file sharing. Certainly last time I tried I couldn't but that was a couple of years ago.

Obviously this needs remedying. (Who owns it?)

Actually, I think I might know who has the master tapes. Some of the stuff I only own on vinyl (which I no longer have tech to play) and there's one album which I never did track down (Beluga Pop) and the only copy I know of was put in a skip after the owner's death. That said, I just managed to find a copy on amazon for $22 but they won't ship it to the UK. Gah...

Must not get distracted from work.

I'd have to retrieve them from Yorkshire first. I really should get them ripped though so thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it at some future date when I decide to resolve the vinyl issue. :-)
