I only use linux, and android - podcasts on opensuse and ubuntu desktops
not an issue

rightly so, as you shouldn't modify it.

this "omg u must only use open formats"  bullshit amuses me.

facts of life are mp3 is widespread and well known, even a 5yo kid would
know what it is, and what to do with it, how many 25yo's or 35yo's even
know WTF ogg is... despite its tiny fanbase, ogg has not taken off, nor
will it, certainly not anywhere near to the extent of mp3, common sense
says if you put it out there for the masses, you put it out there in
away they can use it.
