What's the best audio compression library for .NET?

Question

I\'m looking for a good audio compression library for .NET. Anything using MP3 is out (because of the licensing issue). Basically I just need to be able to compress regula

Answer 1

You've thought about the .OGG format yet? I don't know if a .net library is available, but the libogg and libvorbis C libs aren't rocket-science and well tested. For a simple compress/decompress job you may get away with a two function wrapper that handles all the details.

It should be easy to write a .net wrapper around them.

Benefits:

• patent free
• usable licence even for closed source projects
• very good compression ratio
• cross platform (maybe not that important since you aim .net, but nevertheless nice to have).
• last but not least: a very mature library without known bugs and good support.
