In downloading some old time radio shows I ran into two terms I have never seen before.?
I know what an MP3 is, but I found VBR MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. What are they besides another way to encode audio? Is there an advantage to any of the 3 formats I've found so far?

VBR=variable bit rate. It will play like a standard MP3.
Ogg Vorbis is a different kind of file compression...you may need to download a new player for those files.
