hey...

as i was just reading through the t-bred article, i was wondering why you're only using mp3 encoding for audio but not <A HREF="http://www.vorbis.com" target="_new">ogg/vorbis</A>.

ogg/vorbis could imho easily become the new standard for internet audio - it's smaller than mp3 at the same quality, it's royalty free, and there are already quite a few programs that let you encode both cds and your mp3s to ogg/vorbis; to give one example for all those interested in vorbis:
check out <A HREF="http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/" target="_new">CDex 1.50 beta4</A>.

i guess if more people knew ogg/vorbis, it could quite easily become the new standard - especially as (afair) the fraunhofer-gesellschaft has started taking license fees for each and any soft- and hardware that uses the mp3 codec.

as tom's hardware is quite a popular site, i guess you could significiantly help spreading news about "that new royalty-free audio codec".

...except that Ogg Vorbis has been around for at least 2 years now.

Seriously though, Ogg Vorbis is an excellent audio compression standard. At high bitrates, both MP3 and OGG pretty much achieve transparency (~95% of population can't hear difference between original and compressed file). At low bitrates, OGG sounds a lot better. OGG also supports true gapless playback, which MP3 does not. Also, OGG is indeed true open-source and is completely free, while MP3 is dubiously "owned" by the Fraunhofer company or whatever.
