Vorbis

Vorbis is a free, open-source audio compression technology used for encoding digital sound. It reduces the size of audio files while preserving quality, making it ideal for streaming and storing music, podcasts, or other sound data. Unlike proprietary formats like MP3, Vorbis is developed openly, allowing anyone to use and improve it without licensing fees. Its efficiency means smaller files with little perceptible loss in audio quality, making high-quality sound more accessible across various platforms and devices.
