Yeah, strange name I know, but this looks really exciting. This is an opensource, GPL, patent-free codec that, in my opinion, already beats MP3. Anyway, the guy who's running the show was interviewed by slashdot, and it's an interesting read. If you can stick with it through the initial technical details, it gets more readable. You can find it at: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/08/14/1034209 I've been chasing this band-wagon for a month already, so feel free to fire any questions you might have my way.
