Some years ago, Radio New Zealand started making its audio downloads
available in Ogg Vorbis format, as an alternative to MP3. As I recall,
this coincided with a visit from Richard Stallman, and no doubt his
persuasiveness had something to do with it.

(Checking the timestamps on my downloads, Stallman was interviewed
by Kim Hill on ���Nine to Noon��� on 9th August 2008.)

I was revisiting the Mediawatch page after a long absence
<https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/mediawatch>, and I see they
have reverted to MP3-only format for their downloads now. Were people
being confused by .ogg files? All the open-source players can handle
them, so what players were they trying to use?
