;=) I'd think people are tired of hearing about codec:s ....

Ogg is the conatiner file format. Vorbis is one of the codecs than can 
be used with it. From my limited experience I'd say Vorbis is about 
equal to MP3 with the advantage of being open source and free from 
patents.  Its a lossy codec.

There is also a non-lossy codec for Ogg. Called FLAC. It returns the 
same bits that goes in.
