Vorbis is a general-purpose audio and music encoding format
|
|
|
|
|
contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond
|
|
|
|
|
MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other
|
|
|
|
|
proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the
|
|
|
|
|
month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain.
|
|
|
|
|
All the technical details are published and documented, and any
|
|
|
|
|
software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or
|
|
|
|
|
patent concerns.
