Part 1: What’s OGG Vorbis?

Ogg is a free open container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The audio codecs can be Theora, Vorbis, FLAC and OggPCM. Since 2007, the Xiph.Org Foundation has recommended that .ogg be used only for Ogg Vorbis audio files. Because the Ogg format is royalty-free, it can be used in both commercial and non-commercial scenarios. When using the same bit rate, Ogg usually gets better audio quality than MP3. These advantages may be the main reason Spotify uses *.ogg as its music format. Songs downloaded by Spotify Premium users are DRM-protected Ogg Vorbis files that cannot be played on iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, Sony Walkman and various MP3 players.
