Vorbis dev - Jun 2004 - MAGIX Music Studio 2005 Deluxe

I was just reviewing MAGIX Music Studio, and it advertises that it exports Ogg
Vorbis.  Does this mean I can have all the benefits of the Ogg Vorbis codec
without having to learn how to "do" Ogg Vorbis"?  I am simply
interested in reducing the size of my standard .wav files.

Steve,

Firstly, this isn't a development question - so you should send stuff like
this (in the future) to vorbis@xiph.org, not vorbis-dev@xiph.org.

Next, actually answering your questions: I'm not really sure what you mean
by
"learn how to 'do' Ogg Vorbis", but the simple answer is
"Yes, you can encode
vorbis with this program". I haven't actually used it (or even heard of
it
before), so I can't say anything specific about it, but most of these
applications just give you an option to "export to vorbis", which will
do the
encoding for you.

Personally, for me, this sounds like more complexity than just using oggenc,
but that's not true for everyone - if you don't like command line tools,
then
this is probably a good bit of software.
