Krieger88 is 'in the loop' in a way I am not so I would take seriously his/her comment - a few thoughts though
if there were sufficient call for an ogg player my bet is evelopers would respond to demand - but there just arn't that many ogg files visable during searches (almost none in fact) - which raises another interesting point
everyone knows the mp3 format is not actually the best of the available formats in terms of audio quality but for a bunch of reasons its the mp3 format that consumers have embraced (similar to the way VHS was embraced over the higher quality BETA video format) - but - given that other formats like a2b and liquid audio etc are/were so often used by mainstream download sites its surprising how few of those files/formats are swilling around the gnutella network - maybe its just that mp3 ripping, sharing and playing is so easy and widespread that the mp3 'market share' forces everthing else to the fringe of the fringe
