I said Ogg, not odd
Ogg Vorbis is an audio compression format for high quality (44.1-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. Ogg Vorbis supporters claim the format features better sound quality and a smaller file size. As a lossy compression format, is similar to formats such as MP3, VQF and AAC. It is different from these other formats because it is free, open source, and unpatented. Vorbis can also encode and decode as a single pass, real-time stream. You can recognize Ogg Vorbis files by the .ogg extension. Recommended links:
