"A new digital-music format is spreading on the Net that enthusiasts say is more compact and clearer than MP3, but it may be too late in the game to matter.
Called VQF, the compression technology creates files that are approximately 30 percent smaller than the benchmark MP3 format, and its proponents claim the sound is noticeably better, especially in the treble range.

The file-size difference between MP3 and VQF can mean minutes or hours, depending on how fast a user's connection is to the Net. VQF files are compressed at a 1 to 18 ratio, while MP3 is at 1 to 11. So converting the same 50MB .wav file would create a 4.55MB MP3 file, or a 2.78MB VQF file. Furthermore, fans say VQF guarantees a high-quality file every time, whereas MP3 encoders have a greater variance in quality."
