Can any one tell me what this format is . is it ogg vorbis. i have not bought the cds so i cant tell u the extension

I think someone's trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting consumers. I ran a search on Google, the first 20 links were: 18 related to the Heckler & Koch MP5 machine gun, 1 with links to cars, (apparently Mazda uses that designation somewhere) and one to a men's weight loss site...

Nothing even remotely related to music, and I'm sure if a new format were recently released, we would have known about it probably before it was actually released..Usually the people who produce thngs of that nature want lots of publicity so they let the Internet have lots of teaser "press releases". (How long did M$ advertise XP before finally releasing it??? I know it was put off at least a year...)

he he,<img src=http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v83/shanmuga/grin2.gif> got the same result here. But running a india specific search produced a auction website, where someone sold mp5 cd supposedly containing 826 songs. Mp3 or ogg vorbis recorded at very low bit rates.....?
