Vorbis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vorbis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Vorbis is an open and free audio compression (codec) project from the Xiph.org Foundation. It is frequently used in conjunction with the Ogg container and is then called Ogg Vorbis. It is often mistakenly called just Ogg (or 'OGG').

Vorbis was started following a September 1998 letter from Fraunhofer Gesellschaft announcing plans to charge licensing fees for the MP3 format. Soon after founder Christopher 'Monty' Montgomery began work on the project, he was assisted by a growing collection of other developers. They continued refining the code until a stable version 1.0 of the codec was released on July 19, 2002.

The latest version is 1.1.1 released on 2005-06-27. Source code for this release is available from the official Vorbis web site, while many Windows binaries can be downloaded at Rarewares."
