Ogg Vorbis Share Reaches 12.3% on P2P Traffic
prostoalex writes "According to CacheLogic survey, 61.44% of the peer-to-peer traffic nowadays is video, with audio taking distant second place, representing 11.34% of global traffic. Moreover, 12.3% of all the music files traded on P2P networks are in Ogg format. Almost all of the OGG files are traded via BitTorrent protocol with most of the growth coming from Asia, CacheLogic says."
This does not make open source look good.

Get a better player. I've not had Ogg take more CPU time than MP3 since before v1.0 was released.
Blah blah blah. As long as it works on my hardware, it's compatible. And look, it does and it is!
How's that Apple cock taste? You have fun with that. I will stick with music players that play the formats I have and use.
that Ogg is the format of thieves and vagabonds, as I have always suspected...

If you expect people to buy inferior portable music players just so they can play your filthy hippy format, you're going to be disappointed.
You have fun with your player that plays the formats you have and use. The rest of the world will continue using superior players that play the format everyone else has and uses. Don't worry though, your embracing of a pointless and incompatible format makes you special!
PS: There's really no need to be such a butthole when you're defending your format. It doesn't exactly make people want to go out and try it when it appears to be the choice of bitchy little fucksticks.
Actually ogg is a container format which can contain both sound and video. Vorbis is the audio format.
Actually, you're not technically a faggot because you also have sex with hermaphrodites. Faggitronic is your sexual identity.
Seriously, this is just a great example of GPL for the hell of it. If it makes you happy fine, but it's totally useless to the majority of the populace. An excellent example of Stallman-ism's irrelevance to the actual audience.
If your CDs were stolen but you're still playing the Ogg files you ripped then you too are a thief.
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
Congratulations; that comment earned you a spot on my foe list.
Asshole.

Maybe your funny meter is broke. Just sayin' That's all.
What?
Who cares? That has NOTHING to do with this conversation, but please, don't let logic stand in the way of your sad politicking.

P2p music downloaders have to re-encode 12.3% of their music downloads.
I wonder if any of you guys who sit and debate over OGG, MP3, AAC, etc etc etc actually LISTEN and ENJOY the music, or just sit there all day debating over which is closer to the original WAV...
