One question I have for the scenesters: Why does the music scene still stay with MP3 ?!? Seriously - I'm surprised that they haven't moved onto OGG by now, or even FLAC.

First, audiophiles couldn't give a rats ass about MP3. The format is too compressed, and on good high-end audio gear the music is flat and lifeless. So, ultimately, I think the lack of tags is more aobut programmers who want to get away from the norm.
One reason that MP3 is still popular is likely the complete opposite: most people just want the music. If it sounds like crap or just mediocre, that's okay. So they stick with the common format and leave it at that. Next to that, providing a higher end ripoff of the original source is probabaly just too much to bother with. It's really too bad. There's so much more music inside the music if people would take the time to listen.
