So to get a good start at promoting open formats how about we make an
exhaustive list of websites which are either offering open format
streams or open format files for purchase.

My offering to such a list are: 

http://www.mindawn.com/  ogg and flac music to purchase
http://www.telltaleweekly.org/   audiobooks in mp3/aac AND ogg

Anyone else know of any other interesting places to get ogg vorbis legally?
