Ogg The Conqueror? RC2 Is Out 329
jonathan_ingram writes: "There has been a lot of discussion recently in Slashdot about sound compression formats. Much has been focused on
Ogg Vorbis, but the most recent version available has been a beta released in Feburary.
Today, RC2 of Vorbis
has been released. The most important of the
many changes
is
channel coupling,
which means that Vorbis can now encode bitsteams at a much lower
bitrate than before.
Try it out today!"

It is my goal to replace my wife and my CD collection of 400-500 discs ...
Current version of Ogg Vorbis can only do the later :-)

Close. It's Oog the Caveman. But nice try.

I was kinda surprised that it was Ogg that drove away my wife (here I thought it was my awful personality. What a relief),that I've been habitually unemployed, destitute, and that I don't even own a proper desk. Ah-heh.
Unfortunately, the green shag carpeting part is completely true. Damn you, the 1970's! Will you never die?!

(Oh well, at least it seemed to be positive on Ogg)

I like 'ogg' because it reminds me of netrek playing. To 'ogg' is to blow up an enemy ship that has armies. Great fun.
"Patents" the wrong category/topic (Score:5, Funny)
So, why is this article listed under the "patents pending" topic again?
