Ogg Drop

I'm trying out this little app called Ogg Drop – It encodes CD music as Ogg Vorbis files (as opposed to MP3, which has a patent/license on it), and supposedly produces smaller and better quality tracks. As soon as it's done I'm going to restart, since I've installed Quicktime 6.0.2, and the Quicktime decoder ring, er, plugin for Ogg, which will let iTunes play Ogg files.
