Spotify bruker ikke mp3 heller.
Hvordan vet du at 320kbps er mest brukt for mp3 komprimering?
		
		
	 
Spotify brukte noe som het Ogg/Vorbis for noen år siden. For alt det jeg vet bruker de det fortsatt. Høyeste kvalitet iht. Wikipedia er ca. 500 Kb/S

Vorbis
libvorbis
Vorbis is a 
free and open-source software project headed by the 
Xiph.Org Foundation. The project produces an 
audio coding format and software reference encoder/decoder (
codec) for 
lossy audio compression. Vorbis is most commonly used in conjunction with the 
Ogg container format[10] and it is therefore often referred to as 
Ogg Vorbis.
Vorbis is a continuation of audio compression development started in 1993 by 
Chris Montgomery.
[11][12] Intensive development began following a September 1998 letter from the 
Fraunhofer Society announcing plans to charge licensing fees for the 
MP3 audio format.
[13][14] The Vorbis project started as part of the Xiphophorus company's Ogg project (also known as OggSquish multimedia project).
[15][16] Chris Montgomery began work on the project and was assisted by a growing number of other developers. They continued refining the 
source code until the Vorbis file format was frozen for 1.0 in May 2000.
[2][3][17] Originally licensed as 
LGPL, in 2001 the Vorbis license was changed to the 
BSD license to encourage adoption, with the endorsement of 
Richard Stallman.
[18][19] A stable version (1.0) of the reference software was released on July 19, 2002.
[20][21][22]
Since February 2013,
[23] Xiph.Org has stated that the use of Vorbis should be deprecated in favor of the 
Opus codec, which is also a Xiph.Org Foundation project and also free and open-source. Compared to Vorbis, Opus can simultaneously achieve higher compression efficiency—per both Xiph.Org itself and third-party listening tests
[24][25]—and lower encode/decode latency (in most cases, low enough for real-time applications such as 
internet telephony or live singing, rarely possible with Vorbis).
[26]
Name
Vorbis is named after a 
Discworld character Exquisitor Vorbis in 
Small Gods by 
Sir Terry Pratchett. The 
Ogg format, however, is 
not named after 
Nanny Ogg, another Discworld character; the name is in fact derived from 
ogging, 
jargon that arose in the computer game 
Netrek.
[12]
Usage
Vorbis faces competition from other audio formats, such as MP3. Though Vorbis is technically superior (addressing many of the limitations inherent to the MP3 design), MP3 has a far higher public profile.
[27] Because Vorbis does not have financial support from large organisations, support for the format is not as widespread, though programs such as 
Audacity can convert to more popular formats,
[28] and support in games has gradually improved.
[29]
The Vorbis format has proven popular among supporters of 
free software.
[30] They argue that its higher fidelity and completely free nature, unencumbered by patents, make it a well-suited replacement for patented and restricted formats.

Low-bitrate Vorbis example
Vorbis has different uses for consumer products. Many 
video games store in-game audio as Vorbis, including 
Amnesia: The Dark Descent, 
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, 
Halo: Combat Evolved, 
Minecraft, and 
World of Warcraft, among others.[
citation needed] Popular software players support Vorbis playback either natively or through an external 
plugin. A number of websites, including 
Wikipedia, use it.
[31][32][33][34] Others include 
Jamendo and 
Mindawn, as well as several national radio stations
[31] like JazzRadio, 
Absolute Radio, 
NPR, 
Radio New Zealand[35] and 
Deutschlandradio.
[36] The 
Spotify audio streaming service has used Vorbis
[37][38] in a basket of codecs for its audio streams, but now has also been using AAC profiles.
[39] Also, the French music site Qobuz offers its customers the possibility to download their purchased songs in Vorbis format, as does the American music site 
Bandcamp.

Technical details
Vorbis nominal bitrate at quality levels for 44.1 kHz stereo input. The new libvorbis v1.2 usually compresses better than these values (effective bitrate may vary).
