I have a player on my site that does both mp3 and Ogg. I'll see if I
can find the link for it.<br>

Of course. But that's not the whole story. Microsoft only
supports MP3 because so many people listen to mp3 radio
stations and files. And before Window Media Player played
MP3, everyone had winamp installed because the nearest
teenager (if I may) had installed it as a way to listen to
cool--or at least free--music.
So, the more content is available in ogg, and the more
good and popular content that is available *only* in ogg,
the more people will install the players, and the more
vendors will ship support so their customers won't have
to.

There are plugins at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/">http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/</a>
you might give those a try.
Hopefully once they're stablized we can finally get
on the autodownload program and all this will go away.
Although people tell me it doesn't actually work.
