In an ideal world, I'd use OGG but neither my phone or my wife's iPod
will play it. Unless you have old devices you want to support, MP3 just
doesn't make sense anymore. AAC (aka MP4) works on iPods and most
phones made within the past year or so, and you get better quality for
the size. Linux support is also good thanks to faac/faad.
