Mine aren't rapidly disappearing, at least not as far as I know. You 
getting 404s on my site?

As for the rest of the world, well, mp3 is the new Xerox is the new 
Kleenex, ya know? Looks like Fraunhofer have more or less abandoned 
trying to collect license $$ from everybody who's ever written an mp3 
encoder/decoder, instead focusing on mp3pro or whatever, so there's less 
eagerness on the part of hardware manufacturers to worry about ogg support.

Which is why I'm going to gradually start including both mp3 and ogg 
versions of the stuff that *I* encode & post on my site. The mp3s I 
download from myspace for the player are not-my-problem.
