End-User Downloads

The Xiph.Org Foundation does not primarily create software for the end-user.

Usually, we create specifications, reference implementations, libraries,

and documentation for all of the above. We try to make it easy for

developers to include support for the Xiph family of codecs. The following

end-user download links are provided for convenience:

Vorbis

FLAC

Theora

Speex

Icecast
