It's not as simple as just switching from one format to another. I already 
have 65-70 GB of old time radio files, for example. Most of these have only 
been made available in .mp3 format. I play them on my palm, in my car, and on 
my computers.

I'd love it if there were a way to convert already not-so-great audio files 
from .mp3 to .ogg without incurring further degradation, but I don't know how 
to do that.

Even if I converted them, then I could not play them in my car radio, a Sony 
which only supported cd and .mp3 formats, nor on my Palm which I use out of 
the car. Why would I do that?

I'd certainly prefer to have been able to purchase a car radio in this town 
that plays .ogg, but I couldn't find one when I bought my car five years ago.

In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.
Then how come people can sell Microsoft software and go unpunished?
