100% agree. I still haven't figured out how to get OGG files to play
correctly on any of my computers, and I'm more computer savvy than
most. I look forward to the day when OGG is a well-supported and
easy-to-play format but until then, I don't think playing a little
lowest-common-denominator is a bad thing when it comes to tech things,
with the always-available option of linking up with the full file for
those who really want to monkey with it.
