Hi!
I agree too, but this is Linspire ( aka Lindows ) we are talking about
here. Since they are trying to be the Linux distro of choice for former
Windows users, they want everything to be somewhat recognizable to
users. Notice how they rename alot of the programs they include?
It's been my experience that MP2 is more prevalent on Windows than Ogg
Vorbis. Anyways, I'll dig up the email of the author ( Duane Maxwell i
believe ) and see what happens.

I've given up on getting LSongs into Debian ( for now ). Maybe I can
convince upstream to switch to toolame instead ( MP2 vs MP3 ). That
would eliminate the patent issue and make LSongs easier to package.
Personally, if I were going to try to convince an upstream source of
something like that, I'd try to have them switch to Ogg/Vorbis instead.
That way you lose patent encumbrance and gain better output quality as
an added bonus. :)
