I would not know. I only know that I promote it to all my male friends, not
giviong them much of an alternative, since I generally refuse to encode to
MP3 anymore. I'm a bit cruel in that department ;-). If they can't handle
it, their loss. The only exeption is when I want certain "special"
non-computer-savvy women to listen to certain music. Then I can persuade
myself to encode to the ever so popular format spawned from the loins of
Satan.
*Sigh* If only Winamp supported Ogg by default.
I guess our best option is to show people how Ogg sounds better than MP3 at
lower bitrates and how this is a good thing regarding bandwidth consumption
and general storage space
