Sure - what we do is provide .ogg as standard and .mp3 as the inferior
alternative, legacy format. That begs the question 'what's better
about Ogg?' to which the answer is 'faster download and less storage
space for you, less bandwidth used for me'. Saving bandwith will be
appreciated by people hosting music sites.

I figure arguments about sound quality are lost on people who listen
to music on iPods or those little plastic speakers that you get free
with the computer. The same would go for discussion on patents for
people who use Windows; they are not really interested. But faster
downloads due to smaller file size - everyone can appreciate that.

Cheers

Daniel
