ogg is an open format with good options for streaming etc.. the
quality:compression is better than mp3.. so a 64k ogg, is about
as good as a 96-128k mp3, and a 128k ogg is on par with a 256k mp3.

I'm not uncomfortable with mp3, though some nicer file utilities for getting
them better organized would be cool... I use winamp5, and tend to use the
built in library for searching etc.  I used to like MMJB better, but not as
fond of the newer versions.. and not much out there for skins, though I like
the default winamp5 skin just fine.  MMJB has better support for RIP/Burn, and
for re-encoding files... (some mp3 players don't like VBR mp3's)
