Ogg Vorbis Encoder for Winamp 5 description
This encoder allows to rip CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper (free or pro editions)

Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source.

It’s currently one of the best candidate to “mp3 successor”, and its wide increasing support illustrates its qualities and popularity.

This encoder allows to rip CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper (free or pro editions). Resultant files are adjustable through a quality setting (-1.00 to 10.00), although an estimated average bitrate is displayed for information.

Ogg-Vorbis files can be natively played by Winamp.

The Ogg-Vorbis Encoder setup program is bundled with two versions of the encoder: the stable 1.1 and the experimental Archer B10.

What's New in This Release:

· Changed the "Estimated bitrate" user interface string to "Nominal bitrate", which is technically-speaking more accurate
· Fixed bad URL to the Vorbis project webpage (shame on me!)
· Turned copyrights information into hypertext links
· Merged the two installers (v1.1 & Archer) into a single one, with the ability for the user to choose one at installation time
· Added SSE processor detection in the setup program, preventing the user to install a version which wouldn’t work on his computer
