There is an Open Source alternative to the MP3 format: Ogg Vorbis. ZDNet reports “The team behind the Ogg Vorbis format has created the Xiph Foundation, which will serve as a nonprofit parent for the open-source development efforts. The programmers are trying to create a format for online music that will carry none of the patent license fees associated with MP3 and other proprietary technologies.”
