Third, since 80% of mp3 players out there today are iPods (which all support AAC)
In the USA and other OPEC countries... but not 'out there' as a whole.

'Out there' includes countries like India, China, Indonesia, Brazil etc, where there's a force to be reckoned: the el-cheapo Chinese players. OK, most of them look like/are garbage, but they're cheap as hell, and people buy them. Most of them does support ONLY MP3. And, in China, they're probably veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery worried about MP3 patent problems :P

Don't count MP3 out yet. And even WMA, remember that Microsoft commands 90%+ of the desktop computer market.
