You need to consider the user that is willing to move towards these open
sets of technology but does not have the knowledge as-yet.
If you block him/her from using his/her current files, you will drive
the said user away. where is good will? How do you convert them?
It's not conversion if you give them a box and tell them they won't be
able to use these gazillions of music files they love so much.
Giving them the ability to use these 'old' files and to create new ones
with open toolsets, this is the challenge.
