Encoder to convert CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper
Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source. It?s currently one of the best candidate to ?mp3 successor?, and its wide increasing support illustrates its qualities and popularity.This encoder allows to rip CD tracks to Ogg-Vorbis 1.1 files using the Winamp 5 built-in CD ripper (free or pro editions). Resultant files are adjustable through a quality setting (-1.00 to 10.00), although an estimated average bitrate is displayed for information.More information about the Ogg-Vorbis format on the official project page http://www.vorbis.com/Ogg-Vorbis files can be natively played by Winamp.

Random Review:

Finally, but not full
Have been waiting for this encoder since I got Winamp. However, it's a pretty rudimentary version. Only allows control over the constant bitrate, whereas Ogg offers the same VBR, Stereo, etc. controls as MP3. But hey, at least it's a start.
