Sure - what we do is provide .ogg as standard and .mp3 as the inferior alternative, legacy format. That begs the question 'what's better about Ogg?' to which the answer is 'faster download and less storage space for you, less bandwidth used for me'. Saving bandwith will be appreciated by people hosting music sites. I figure arguments about sound quality are lost on people who listen to music on iPods or those little plastic speakers that you get free with the computer. The same would go for discussion on patents for people who use Windows; they are not really interested. But faster downloads due to smaller file size - everyone can appreciate that.
