Good afternoon, I would like to place a pre-order for the radiohead
download album but since I am an open-source user and a strong
supporter of open formats, I would like to know if it you could
possibly inform me of the digital format used in the download, I
understand that while mp3 has a wider market acceptance, it is covered
by patents and of inferior quality than the ogg/vorbis format, and of
vastly inferior quality than the full lossless encoding of the flac
format.
Also although software patents are still invalid in Europe, in the
united states and other such countries the patents concerning the mp3
format make it technically iillegal for Linux/open source users to
use the mp3 codecs in order to listen to an mp3 download.
A Flac file however can be legally distributed and used without
restrictions and there are free tools which allow anyone to transcode
into their preferred lossy format to be used in their portable player,
also flac is already supported by almost all players and is a de facto
industry standard.

Also although apple has kept their users choice of codec artificially
limited, there exists an alternative software for the ipod series and
a number of several other digital audio players which adds support for
nearly all codecs in existence and which is available free of charge
as an open source project. You can find more information about this at
www.rockbox.org

Also I would like to know if it would be possible to make the phone
mobile number and the street address fields not mandatory for the
download only option.

Thank you for your time, kind regards,
