Hi,
I don't see that mp3s are on the way out at all. After all, mp3 is a
standardised format, ogg vorbous is a lot more difficult to implement. they
have got it all wrong with the quality settings and such. In any case, even
the BBC do mp3 cds and I don't see them switching to OGG because people play
mp3s on cd players, computers and dvd players.
Best
