five minutes work for them...  30 seconds for all of us.  the 
best way is to send Napster an email and ask for them to support 
the ogg vorbis format (just search capability, play not 
necessary for now).  if nobody does this, they will not add it.  
unfortunately, non-technically-inclined users (>50% of napster) 
will still call .ogg files mp3z (just like kleenex is a tissue 
and xerox is a company).
we must all speak out.  napster itself wants users to contact 
the us congress by phone / email to rally for support 
(http://speakout.napster.com/) .  we must contact napster.

napster contact: help at napster.com
