(Redirected from Ogg Vorbis)
Ogg Vorbis is a lossy audio codec comparable to MP3, using the Ogg container format. It is however, an open and patent-free codec, and actually achieves better than mp3 in listening tests. Ogg is normally encoded in a manner using a quality rating from 1 to 10 as it is implicitly variable bitrate, but various encoders allow you to select the bitrate to more precision.
Ogg is a suitable format for game music and ambient sounds to be stored in, and at current its 'market share' is increasing due to it having no license issues. All audio on wikipedia is compressed using the ogg format.
