Ogg Now An RFC

Posted by michael on from the tastes-great-less-filling dept.

Logic writes "The Ogg bitstream format (used by Ogg Vorbis) has been enshrined in RFC 3533, "The Ogg Encapsulation Format Version 0", for all you folks who won't look at something unless it has an RFC attached to it."

    Isn't it ironic that an RFC would be published so late in the format's life? I guess the old meaning is completely obsolete, and Request For Change doesn't really fit the bill either...

  2. This is a good thing. by DdJ · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I see this as extremely likely to increase the odds that Apple will put Ogg support into iTunes and the iPod, that hardware MP3 player manufacturers will add support for Ogg, that the TiVo will be able to play it, that the PS2 media player will be able to play it, et cetera, et cetera...

  3. Maybe Apple will appreciate? by cruppel · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think maybe this will spur Apple into motion. Perhaps we'll see ogg being worked into the iTunes Music store.

    "MP3 is better"
    "what? We're talking about music, not whatever that is..."
    "MP3 is about music. It's a file format, like MID or MOD, only better."
    "Okay, dude, I'm sorry, I just keep missing the first thing you're saying"
    "It's MP3. M - P - 3."
    "Dude, that is the most retarded name I've ever heard of... let's play some Tekken on my PlayStation!!!"
