------- Comment #3 from Nickolay V. Shmyrev  2006-01-09 10:19 UTC -------
Some ideas from the bug above:

Perhaps one could do it by preferring free formats to MP3 and MP3s with higher
bitrate to MP3s with a lower one. Of course, songs with variable bitrate
wouldn't fit this pattern...

It might be a good idea to leave the responsibility with the user. Just
offering
some choices like "Only play first occuring version", "Always play Ogg",
"Always
play file with highest bitrate" for default settings in Preferences could be a
way to do it. I suppose there's no way to see what encoder has been used from
the contents of an MP3-file? Otherwise, this info could also be used by letting
the user specify an encoder-hierarchy in Preferences. It probably would end up
being a rather bloated set of options, though. :-)
