Vorbis is a general-purpose audio and music encoding format |
2 |
contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond |
3 |
MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other |
4 |
proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the |

month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain. |

All the technical details are published and documented, and any |

software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or |
8 |
patent concerns. |
