Huh? The article talks about Wal-Mart's effort to be DRM-free. MP3
format does not support DRM. Ogg and FLAC are arguably better formats,
and they are Free, but they also play on very few devices. I'm
currently re-ripping my entire CD library to MP3 because I made the
mistake of ripping to Ogg the first time, and my new player (and most
available players) does not play Ogg files. :-(
