  • Should MP3 and WAV be in the right column? FLAC is more of a compressed form of WAV so a nonfree lossless format should be to the right of it IMO. The patents expired for MP3 and there are free software implementations of it. Mmcmahon (talk) 17:53, 7 May 2024 (EDT)
    • FLAC is done by Xiph.Org, the organization that most oversees OGG. I doubt they would do compressed WAVs for their implementations of it. I'm more worried about .bmp being listed as a free format when it was made by Microsoft for Windows. --Gmestanley (talk) 19:08, 18 August 2024 (EDT)
