When someone uploads an .mp3 and I click it, the audio is downloaded (no matter the filesize) instead of playing in the client. I understand why YouTube links open in the browser but Qt can decode and play directly uploaded multimedia files. Fraunhofer's patent on .mp3 expired 3 years ago so that's no longer an issue.

Why mp3 in particular and not the many other multimedia file formats Ripcord doesn't, and won't, support? I don't think it's a good idea.
