Encoding with Vorbis

Encoding files with Vorbis is the second in an ongoing series of four articles about the Ogg Vorbis audio compression system. "One of the unfortunate legacies of the mp3 era is the common assumption that bitrate directly affects quality. Though it is true that a higher bitrate results in a larger file, it does not necessarily sound better. There are better and easier ways to encode music. As an alternative to dealing with bitrates, Vorbis offers a streamlined "quality" setting control. The values range from zero to ten. The higher the value, the better the final quality."
