Bzzzzzzzzzzt you have mixed the concepts.
IE is a browser of formats (html, etc) MP3 is a format.
So chosing IE is chosing a reader of formats not the format itself.
I could understand it if you had said "its like choosing PDF over HTML
back in the early '90s"

Why the hell would AOL want tech savy people on its service? Specialy
people like Linux folks who will start raisng the expecation bar of the
user base, even , horrors, start and OSS wave.
AOL is about as antiLinux as MS. Its Closed minded versus Open (well at
least linux says its more "open")
ANd why the heck would a linux user want to go on AOL? Talk about
supporting a Proprietary CLosed SOurce Company, AOL should be on top of
your hit list with MS.
