Ogg Vorbis > Mp3
,----[ Quote ]
| You will all be highly familiar with the format Mp3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3),
| as it is somewhat common in the world of digital music. You would think a
| widely used, compressed audio format would offer great benefits. Not entirely
| true, unfortunately, Mp3 is riddled with patents causing headaches for music
| distributors and also software developers alike.

| mappings for a lot more container formats in due course.

| But with the launch of the FSF's web campaign, the time may be ripe
| for Ogg Vorbis to truly shine. According to Chris "Monty" Montgomery,
| creator of Ogg and founder of the Xiph.org Foundation which oversees
| Ogg's development, such big-name backing has been a long time
| coming.
|
| ... Linux users most likely have Ogg support built in to their machines
| (but you guys already knew that).

| sales and portable players, it is not an unsupported format in
| the industry. Toy manufacturers (e.g. speaking dolls), voice
| warning systems, and reactive audio devices exploit Ogg Vorbis
| for its good quality at small bit-rates.
