Ogg Vorbis
by xiph.org
A fully open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format
Ogg Vorbis is a program designed to compress audio files in Vorbis format, which is similar in functionality and quality to such codecs as AAC, AC3 and VQF, but has a higher compression ratio than MP3. However, compression with this program can be accompanied by loss of sound quality.
One main benefit of using Ogg Vorbis is its superior compression ratio to MP3, allowing for high-quality audio in a smaller file size.

The Ogg Vorbis allows for the encoding and decoding of files, in the Ogg Vorbis format ensuring compatibility with Windows based applications through Microsofts Audio Compression Manager (ACM). It takes advantage of the quality and smaller file sizes provided by Ogg Vorbis making it suitable for a range of uses. This codec is a tool that seamlessly integrates with applications on Windows systems offering audio compression while preserving fidelity. It can be obtained as Shareware software. It Is compatible with Windows operating systems supporting both the encoding and decoding of data in the Ogg Vorbis format. While primarily designed for Windows it may be possible to use it on platforms with compatibility layers or emulators. For information, documentation and downloads related to this codec please visit its website or explore online forums dedicated to discussing it. Please note that antivirus programs may flag OggDroid as malware during installation or usage which could cause some difficulties. To simplify Ogg Vorbis encoding on Android devices developers can integrate OggDroids app into their projects. The app includes xiph.jar and xiph_src.jar files containing class files and Java files, for implementation purposes.
