i do think APE and Vorbis and so on should also be covered, but in their own threads. i would def be willing to help contribute to such an effort, but i'm not sure i should write those articles, i'm just not expert in them.

to me, the clear winners in local media are mp3/id3, and FLAC/Vorbis. (its hard to discount completely what apple does, mp4 and ALAC, but those aren't much different really). while winamp should continue to support all the formats it can, (which it needs to for streaming) i think winamp would benefit users to say, "here's what works best for most situations" and if a lot of people conform to that, it then will benefit winamp b/c there will be fewer esoteric situations foisted on winamp by users, ergo less support requests.
