The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is currently testing the
streaming of Ogg Vorbis, an open, free audio codec. The CBC Radio services
are normally streamed in Windows Media format, but a test stream of CBC
Radio One in Ogg format is being operated. Ogg Vorbis is a new audio
compression format. It is roughly comparable to other formats used to store
and play digital music, such as MP3, VQF, AAC, and other digital audio
formats. It is different from these other formats because it is completely
free, open, and unpatented. CBC recommends Windows users to download Winamp
5 which is free and copes with Ogg.
