(Why the hell doesn't Apple try supporting Ogg and Flac?!? Embrace the open standards, dammit!) If there are any non-proprietary lossy audio formats as widely supported as mp3, then I'd be happy to dump the mp3s, but unfortunately I feel a bit like I need to either sell my music or my soul - and my music means more to me...

I thought there was patents and other evilness related to that format. Also I think that you once said that you had far more downloads with the Ogg. Teach the rest of them ;-) Why do you create MP3-files for download?
