Why recommend Winamp when Songbird is free software? In my opinion it's a bit bloated, but it does offer a familiar user interface and will play free formats.

Winamp truely has plugin feature, and also comes with the full free version.

Isn't Winamp a proprietary program? the campaign is about
advertising VLC rather than Winamp.

Generally, Ogg is not the goal. the goal is free software, that is,
users' freedom. Ogg is an unencumbered format, and without
such a format no free multimedia software is possible.

The problem is that many people know and prefer WMP, and because ogg is so scarce, they don't bother.
