Vorbis is an open and free lossy audio compression (codec) project headed by the Xiph.org Foundation. It is frequently used in conjunction with the Ogg container and is then called Ogg Vorbis. Although the Vorbis format is often simply referred to as Ogg, this is technically incorrect as Ogg is a container format while Vorbis is an audio codec. Vorbis began following a September 1998 letter from Fraunhofer Gesellschaft announcing plans to charge licensing fees for the MP3 format. Soon after, founder Christopher "Monty" Montgomery commenced work on the project and 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 official version is 1.1.2 released on 2005-11-28, but there are some fine-tuned forks available, like aoTuV beta 4.51. Source code (called libvorbis) for the Xiph.org release is available from the official Vorbis.com web site, while many Windows binaries can be downloaded at Rarewares.org. Source code and binaries for the aoTuV release are available at the author's own site. The Ogg Vorbis format has proved popular among open source communities. They argue that its higher fidelity and completely free nature make it a natural replacement for the entrenched MP3 format. However, MP3 has been widely used since the mid-1990s and, as of 2005, is still the most prevalent lossy audio format.[1] In the commercial sector, Vorbis is being used in many newer video game titles (see list below). While currently somewhat patchy, the increasing number of hardware players that support Vorbis is encouraging (see the compatible hardware list below). Many popular software players support the Vorbis format, with a few needing an external plugin (see the compatible software below). Another indication of Ogg Vorbis's increasing popularity is the number of websites using it, such as Jamendo or Mindawn, as well as several national radio stations such as Radio France, CBC Radio and Virgin Radio providing additional Vorbis streams.
