Great news! Although it's long overdue to switch to OGG and/or FLAC.

I've never met anyone that actually uses OGG.

FLAC on the other hand rules!

I had been using the Lame encoder all these years. I wonder how the Cake encoder compares?? Or should I be using Flac encoding?? I get enough flac as it is...

If we're runnng the early release update 2. Is it necessary to run the new installer for this to work?

Not a major issue for me as I've had it since back in the ProAudio days...

Im throwing a huge free MP3 encoder party.
All kinds of extentions (Wav, Aif, Flac) are all going to be here.

Geez and I just paid for MP3 Activation last month. I sure hope there is a way I can get a refund. Haven't even used it yet.

It is based on LAME.

It depends on your use case. Ogg is really popular in gaming. It's a bit lossy but holds up well. Great for background tracks or fx where 'quality' won't really impact the experience.

I just paid the $10 for the Cakewalk Sonar MP3 encoder just over a week ago. I received an email today saying that my money will be refunded. Yea! The email did not say how far back they will be going to refund monies paid for this.

Same here I just paid for MP3 activation last month also, and haven't used it yet, what a bummer.
