Ogg Vorbis 1.0

uvasmith writes "According to the Ogg Vorbis website... Release 1.0 is now ready and tagged as 'vorbis1_0_public_release' in CVS. This is a full release of a 1.0 encoder, decoder and tool set. The encoder, decoder and tools now implement all Vorbis 1.0 specification features including low-bitrate, cascading and channel coupling." Update: 07/19 17:05 GMT by C :It seems someone jumped the gun a bit in mentioning the release, but now it's official! Check out the download page, the letter from their CEO and (if you wish) cough up a few bucks at the donation page! For those audiophiles among us, you can check out a side-by-side audio comparison here. Oh, and don't forget the free music!

Re:(don't flame me) Why?

Why should we take the time to educate you?

Everything doesn't have to be cool to everyone ... if it were it wouldn't be as "cool".

If you're happy with your 160K MP3s, keep them ... if you're happy with your MP3 encoding solution, make more MP3s with it.

If not ... then look into it. Some people, myself included, have held off doing a full digitization of our CDs until we had a product we liked to do it ... now we have it ... so to use this is cool.
