PlayOgg!

Increasingly, proprietary software companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe are pushing video and audio formats that restrict access and restrict software developers.
Thankfully, there is an alternative that can be played on all computers without restriction — Ogg. With Ogg, professional grade multimedia formats such as Vorbis, Theora, Speex and FLAC come to life!
Vorbis and Theora are used extensively by free software projects, artists and a growing number of music and video distributors.
Take the next steps
To play Ogg files you need a media player that understands these formats. Many different free software players work with Ogg. We like one called VLC Media Player.
