Charity Case by MC Frontalot

The almost famous Nerdcore Rapper is trying to become a music star. But to do that, he needs to convince an audience that doesn't like to pay for their data that his songs aren't free.

The Front also does something unusual for an internet musician. He offers many of his songs in both Ogg Vorbis and mp3 formats. Vorbis encoding has many advantages over mp3. Vorbis results in songs with higher fidelity, smaller file sizes, or both. It's also an open format, with no patent holder to demand licensing fees for selling files encoded using that format (unlike mp3). The best reason to go for the mp3 rather than the ogg file is if you use a portable media player that doesn't support ogg.
