I've seen this all over the place but I don't know what OGG is. I know it's a file format and appears to be a media type but what is it?

OGG is an audio format, like MP3 or WMA.

It's got better quality for a given compression rate than MP3. People debate both ways for whether OGG or WMA sounds better. It's open-source, so there's no licensing fee like there is with the other formats.

Thank you for the info. That has been gnawing at me for weeks!
