In this day and age of "mobile" electronics, including things like mp3 players, iPods, Palms with audio support, and so on... it behooves everyone to seek the highest-quality-at-smallest-size file format possible, and .mp3 is NOT that format.
The .mp3 file format is unnecessarily large, horrible audio quality (yes, even at bitrates of 384 and higher), and is restricted by several patents. When a superior quality, smaller, patent-free file format exists, why wouldn't you want to learn how to use it?

One thing that I am learning (from reading users accounts, not personal experiance) is that OGG is hugely processor intensive, and thus eats batteries. Has anyone else seen that?
