Take Your Music Open-Source With Ogg Vorbis
Ogg is a container format for digital media -- Ogg Vorbis is used for audio and Ogg Theora is used for video. The software used to create them and play them is open-source. Ogg Vorbis files carry the .ogg extension.
Much like the MP3 or AAC audio formats, Ogg Vorbis music files are compressed, enabling you to fit thousands of songs onto a compatible portable player. But in contrast to the more popular MP3 and AAC, Ogg Vorbis is free of licensing and patent restrictions, so anyone can code up a software player or hack together an Ogg-enabled hardware device without paying a fee to patent owners.
How does Ogg Vorbis sound? Compressed Ogg audio files offer comparable quality to AAC files, and slightly superior sound to most MP3 files.
