heres a quote from an email about this hosting company who requested that their site be listed in the links section of the website i run for a band on Homstead. Both me and the band said no. mostly cause theres no point, and the guy i got an email from seemed to be rude.> Whilst you're very much entitled to your opinion we have a large number of > users who would prefer to use these formats than others such as OGG Vorbis > due to the vast number of people all over the world with media players > supporting these formats.

chickens do not do .ogg

I wrote the company making a new non-CD portable
player, that uses a 15GB drive to store sound files.
Adding support for the .ogg codec would seem trivial
for such a computer based player.
Their customer service rep indicated interest:

I wrote back to him to encourage such consideration.
He curtly replied:
"When Ogg becomes more of a main format like (Mp3 and
wma) there will be more consideration for that format,
but tell then it will not." The end. Looks like some
other company with vision will reap the benefits of
going with .ogg first.

For what it's worth, SoulSeek Records (kinda not a "real" record label, but still) has an Ogg Vorbis option on its downloads. It's well-explained too, almost like they're promoting the stuff. example of download dialogue: http://www.dutchmountains.net/~fedde/soulseek/stream.php?frmTrack=24&frmRelease=1 main page: http://www.soulseekrecords.com This might be a good example to point to when proselytizing sites and labels.
