The reference implementation already sounds better than MP3 at similar bit rates, and when the encoder is complete (shortly), we are confident that bit rates will go low enough to rival MP3pro. vorbis is also more flexible than MP3, providing a far better tagging system and the ability to encode more than 2 channels. It also contains the ability to down-scale a stream to a given bit rate, something that will be invaluable to streaming content providers. Even though this feature has not yet been implemented in the reference encoder, a number of vorbis streams are already up and running. Get the programs from www.vorbis.com Get more info from www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/ For further information from the developers, contact jack@xiph.org or monty@xiph.org Thank you for giving Vorbis a plug and please feel free to assess it for yourself.
