| The business of standardizing compression formats for audio and video files
| on the Internet is largely dominated by the big companies -- Adobe,
| Microsoft, etc. Some in the open source community are fighting vendor lock-in
| by creating superior formats. Now, if only users would adopt them.

| As Internet users increasingly discover the wonders of downloading audio and
| video files, they probably don't think much about how those files are
| prepared for transmission. Compression formats can be a contentious issue --
| vendors sometimes use them to lock users into their format -- and the open
| source world is working to even the field.

| A host of incremental improvements and new features comprise what today is
| considered "state of the art" in audio compression codecs and technology,
| according to Shy Keidar and Meni Berman, members of the team behind Musepack,
| an open source audio codec and supporting technology that according to the
| two sources is the second-most widely used non-proprietary, general purpose
| and open source "lossy" audio format after Ogg Vorbis.
