Some say Ogg Vorbis is better and cheaper than MP3


It's a measure of our national geekification that the term MP3 has entered our common speech. Millions of us collect legal or illegal music files, encoded in the MP3 digital format and then burned onto compact discs or distributed over the Internet. But MP3 isn't the last word in digital music, far from it. It's actually a fairly old technology, and more expensive than most people realize. That's why we soon may add a new and even geekier term to our technical vocabulary: Ogg Vorbis.
