with the CPU grunt on the Xbox, mp3 would be a no-brainer. Similarly for
vorbis. (much more interesting IMHO, especially since Ogg Vorbis can do
full stereo surround, and the Xbox audio hardware is full surround
capable...

just needs a player written...

Personally, I've been keeping an eye on the Xbox since it first was
announced, purely with an eye towards using it as an audio jukebox and
possibly PVR, should the hardware be capable of it, and the software
(under linux) get that far...

So when will we see the Xbox at the clug demo?
