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!
Cool - somebody mod this guy up. I'll have to check it out later and see if Puffy AmiYumi sounds better in MP3 or Org format.

Great, now they can get back to something I actually care about -- working on cdparanoia for BSD.
Seriously, I think this could be a huge BUST. There is just too much pressure towards proprietary codecs, and the small market share that will use this is not enough to do anything.
I agree with you that CDex is very good.
You probably should also take a look at Exact Audio Copy.
