I have the following devices:
- Ubuntu machines
- PSP
- iPod with Rockbox installed
- XBox 360
My music collection is mainly encoded in OGG apart from a few bought albums in MP3.
What is the most universal file format that is commonly supported across all these devices? Up until now I have only played my music on the Ubuntu machines and the iPod, but I'm beginning to use my PSP and the XBox from time to time, and they have a smaller range of supported codecs.
So, is MP3 the only way to go (I don't want to root/similar my PSP or XBox), or would another format fit the bill?
Apart from a few protected iTunes tracks (which I've not been able to listen to for a long time!), all my stuff is ripped from CDs that I own, save for the few albums I have legitimately downloaded as MP3s. So, while it'll take a while, I will slowly but surely re-rip my library. I'm tempted to transcode everything as a placeholder while it's re-ripped. – Rich – 2011-04-21T11:43:59.920
