   Creative Zen Vision:M which at one time was Creative's most popular MP3 player, does not play AAC, and this product is only 2-3 years old! Sorry some of us aren't spoiled brats and can't buy new audio/video player each year.

   People forget the codec wars ...
   We are all free to choose from so many out there.

   pedromoreno:
   
   Face a few realities.
   
   Ogg is an expensive codec in terms of player resources and in the face of the ubiquitous mp3 is a non-essential nice-to-have codec to support. In addition, it offers no advantages in sound quality due to the advances LAME has undergone over the years.
   
   Let me see:
   
   Should I as a company support a format that relatively few people use (albeit a shrill minority) or should I dedicate machine resources and OS storage space to a codec that is everywhere.
   
   BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
   
   ogg loses every time - a simple business decision.
   
   cowgaR :
   
   aac falls into the same category, albeit less so.
   
   The reality that is (and will continue to be) is that open source audio codcs (and aac) are a distinct minority in terms of practical market share.
   
   And few care.
   
   That's it, that's all.
   
   FIVE stars for an encoder that continues to improve and guarantees that mp3 will continue to be the dominant standard for the foreseeable future.
   
   EDIT:
   
   If you're running one of the old 32bit Semprons, make sure you add --noasm mmx --noasm sse to your command line. If you don't, you'll crash LAME with the following error:
   
   Faulting application lame.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module lame.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0001967a.
   
   Damned intel garbage... :) :) ;)

   Quit badmouthing ogg!!! It's not widely supported because most companies are plain stupid, period. Open source rules! Always will!
   
   As for LAME, lol, it's great! Mp3 has come a long way since its birth, and LAME is an excellent encoder.
