[Asterisk-Users] MP3 or OGG

[Mark Edwards]

I would recommend vorbis speex for this. 
You can get windows drivers to read speex files directly.

Vorbis are the same bunch that develops ogg.

Ogg and mp3 are more suited to music rather than speech.
Speex is a much better fit for speech archiving.

 You're probably not going to be violating any patent protections by
using OGG instead of MP3. As far as compression goes, I've found the
difference between the two of them to be negligible. I've always used
OGG when possible to stay "IP safe".
