You know, one area where I think vorbis has the advantage is that the
vorbis developer community have done their homework.  People like their
formats, yes, but they also like their tools, perhaps even more so.  the
fact that vorbis will be available in numerous programs which currently
support MP3 means that a lot of people will have it handed to them as an
alternative without them having to do anything save perhaps for upgrading
their current tools.
