What is Vorbis?
Ogg Vorbis is a fully open, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8kHz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. This places Vorbis in the same competitive class as audio representations such as MPEG-4 (AAC), and similar to, but higher performance than MPEG-1/2 audio layer 3, MPEG-4 audio (TwinVQ), WMA and PAC.

It represents best quality and file-size compared to any other audio codecs.
Too shame that it is underrated than it deserves.
When it comes to the proportions of the size and quality, Vorbis undoubtedly beat all the sh*t out of any mp3.
The process of encoding is slower than Lame's, but it's definitely worth it.
