I've been using OpenAL & ogg,vorbis for streaming music into the game and i was wondering what format is best suited for this kind of thing, on the iphone?

Using Mp3 and wav should be fine. Apple's done the lisencing for you, as long as you use the decoder they provide.

Have you guys found any useful resources that provide free music that you can put into your application or are you guys actually making the music yourself?
