>The idea in the day was it would replace mp3/aac/etc which it obviously didn't. It did for anyone that cares about it and about file size. My portable library is vorbis. Mp3 is just very popular and there are a lot of mp3 files out there that can't be converted without further degradation of the sound quality so mp3 will remain relevant for a long time. >From that aspect, the fact that conference apps use it as the internal format is hardly relevant, they could license and use whatever and we wouldn't know any difference. It's relevant in terms of market support. Vorbis isn't going anywhere. The random codecs that have popped over the years, open or proprietary never got a lot of support from other companies so they went away.
