It is for me.  Neither my .mp3 player nor my new .ra player will pick it up.
My firewall minded computer asks me if I want to save it, and warns me
against doing so. ;)  If I save it, it asks me what I want to do with it.
If I tell the computer to make Media Player play it, it asks me to download
new material to do that.  That's too much work for me. I've never even heard
of .ogg.  What is it?  Can you do .mp3 ? That's pretty standard.

I don't pronounce Teonaht correctly.  But I mispronounce it fairly
fluently--lot's of practice.  It has much more palatalization than I give it
for my "pretty" little readings.  But I don't sound American, I don't think;
I don't in any of the foreign languages I speak feebly.  The French usually
take me for British, and the Germans take me for French.
