Windows Media Player for all I know).
Perhaps they could double-click an executable file you give them. That
would install either the illiminable codecs (to make Windows Media
Player play free codecs) or they could run the VLC installer and install
VLC (which can play Ogg Vorbis files directly).
Of course, I'd give them only one URL for the thing you would suggest
they use.
I find VLC to be quite good as a general-purpose media player. But if
you know they're already comfortable with WMP, the illiminable codecs
will be completely invisible to them (it "just works"). I've found the
latest unstable illiminable codecs to be quite good, but I list the
stable in case you'd rather recommend that.
