The flip side is that every format you add, has some extra setup costs of various magnitudes, and when belts have to be buckled because it's public money, why spend it when you're satisfying most people now. After all, how many people are not listening to (say) Radio 1 live online just because it's not being streamed in MP3 format.
At least 10%, if not more. An interesting job to compare this with how many people listen to radio through Telewest, and the setup charges of that (even just the carriage fees). I'd argue strongly that streaming MP3 is better value. If this is your only criteria, incidentally, it's also not worth bothering with Ogg Vorbis. -- http://james.cridland.net/
