Mindawn was launched with the intention of giving artists and labels more direct control over their content than that afforded by other online music services, as well as a higher royalty rate and support of open audio standards. This is why you will see the lossless FLAC audio format and the lossy OGG format on this site. OGG can be thought of as MP3 files. There is a huge and growing amount of support for these formats, you can find out more by clicking the 'Customer FAQ' link above, including how to play these formats in iTunes and Windows Media Player.
