The general public appears to be quite shortsighted about the alternatives to mp3. Few people know of formats like BONK and some don't even know fairly established ones like OGG (which is often better quality than AAC AKA MP4).
Besides the more obvious ones, WMA, MP3Pro, AAC, AAC-Plus/HE, OGG (all of these are based on perceptual hearing curves) and larger lossless ones like FLAC and WAVPACK (which use basic linear prediction and integer compression methods)
...there are several other open-source formats on sites like Sourceforge.net like DOT100 (which makes files smaller by away the least harmonic/worst sounding frequencies) and BONK and GSM (which predict the next time sample by more advanced prediction method)..
Have any of you had experience with alternative mp3-type formats like BONK, DOT100, and GSM and, if so,what do you like and dislike about them?
