Perhaps you live in Australia?


No, NW Oregon. Quite a ways from Australia.

You are probably not getting our warm dry sunny weather.

Well it's nice and sunny here in Ontario (Canada).

And it is cold and foggy this morning (7.00 am) in Victoria, Australia.
Nearly at the end of autumn.

What counts as cold in Australia?


My question was, why someone would broadcast in MP3 and also OGG -
does OGG have some advantage, better compression or something?


I answered your second question and completely neglected the first
one. Oggs sound better to my ears, all else being equal. Also,
don't forget the patent issues with MP3. Not everyone wants to
deal with those.

Ogg sounds better to my ears, also.
Ogg uses a variable bitrate, higher for multi-voiced music, lower for single
instrument or voice-only.

How variable, considering the download speed is pretty constant? For instance would it vary from 20K to 30K depending on number of voices?


Regards,
Ron
