What do all the names mean?
Vorbis is the name for the specific audio compression scheme used to create Ogg Vorbis files. It is part of the Ogg project, which is a blanket project designed to create a fully open multimedia system. Right now, Ogg Vorbis is the only functional part of the Ogg project which is anywhere near completion.

OGG = THE ENTIRE OGG PROJECT
VORBIS = THE AUDIO PART OF THE OGG PROJECT

OGG VORBIS = THE AUDIO CODEC "VORBIS" IN THE OGG PROJECT.

Stop calling it "ogg" damnit. :frown:

Well, I have to agree with Axiom, I know about the differences between "Ogg" and "Vorbis", but I still call them ogg just cause the files are named ogg.

I don't go around calling mp3's "MPEG Layer 3 files" either.
 
Ogg, hmm, cool name for audio compressed files. Ogg. I like the sound of that. Ogg, just kind of rolls off the tongue. Ogg.
 
So, I guess we shouldn't call an MP3 "MP3" either, huh? Extensions/abbreviations/shortenings are useful in the computer world. Imagine if everyone used the longest, most "proper" terminology for everything :Q Would be much more tedious.

suck it! 😛 ooooggggggg

I've done some ogg on my pc. Sounded pretty good, but I'm no audiofile.
I'll be reallyinterested when I can get CD players that do ogg the way they do mp3.
