> hmmm.. very interesting.. any info on how they've done the licensing ?No idea how the licensing works. If it's free for the streamer then that may destroy Vorbis's inroads into streaming. I'm hoping that Monty and others can improve Vorbis to start competing with AAC+ at low bitrates. Monty said he had some ideas but I wonder if anything is being worked on presently. Ross.

I'm am currently using autuvb4 at q-2 mono 44100. This produces roughly 28 to 34kb/s. It's ok but I've heard AACPlus at 32kb/s stereo and it's definately better, unfortunately.
