And to the others who are pro-ogg:

Yes, its coming, and other devices are starting to support it, and all thats 
a good thing...

I think Tom's point is - it takes time for such a technology change to take 
place.

The hardware I have (car CD player) will only play mp3's - so I choose mp3 
as my format
for music files.

I'm sure I could search and find a new car CD player, and portable CD player 
(if I wanted
one) and even a home stereo that all play ogg, and then I could switch over 
to ogg for
everything - but how much would that cost me, and why do it now when mp3 is 
doing the
job just fine ?

The next time I have to buy any music players, I'll be looking for ogg, but 
that may not be
for a year or two... these things just take time...

Some people will go for the first wave of a new technology, others will wait 
until its become
more established...

John.
