I'd suggest encoding to Wavpack or FLAC if you want lossless, ogg if
you want lossy and don't have a portable music player, or mp3 if you
want lossless and have a portable music player that doesn't play ogg.
I think that covers pretty much any use-case you would have.

Novell says it does, that's why I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't.
I do use Ogg over MP3, but I still want to be able to encode to the other
formats when I need to, which I do need to some times.

I know. I was trying to respond to Christopher's suggestion (quoted correctly above now). That's what I get for trying to bottom-post on my PDA. ;)
