Hi gary,
You'll have to make sure that ogg is supported. Because to decode it
requires different hardware than mp3 does, not all players have it. It must
be specifically supported before it will work properly.

Well, each to his own. I have actually been brought up in an ogg environment
and my first 5GB of music i ever got was primarily encoded at Q5 ogg. That
is why I am partial to that type of encoding. However, as I have already
previously mentioned, I have nothing against say using AAC at like 64K
I'd find it difficult to believe. By my experiences, Windows Media has
always been a step below Real Media in quality, in my personal opinion.
Other opinions may vary.
