Theora video codec and Vorbis audio codec in Ogg container and FLAC in Ogg or native format working out of the box on N900 is probably must for a lot of music fans.

Workin Ogg support would be a deal-breaker for me in switching to N900.

Flacs work, but the tag support isn’t yet implemented for flac, unfortunately.

If my N900 doesn’t have FLAC support when I get it, it will soon after. The *only* reason I will by an N900 is that I can do things like that, as opposed to the Droid or the iPhone. I have a portable “MP3 player” that I can’t (easily) mod, but it plays FLAC out of the box. If my SanDisk Sansa Clip can play FLAC out of the box, why can’t the N900?

Last week, GPL ARMv4 Theora decoding libraries were announced on the Xiph.org Foundation mailing list.

Looks like vorbisgain needs support from the player, so most likely it won’t ever be supported by the built-in Media Player. I can consider that at some point but not for the initial n900 release.

It would be great to have support for the tags of vorbisgain ( http://sjeng.org/vorbisgain.html ). I hate having to adjust playback volume all the time.
