Ogg Vorbis is a she?

(I saw after rereading that it refers to 'woman of my
dreams', but it still sounds awkward to me)

Also:

Hmm, can intensity stereo really cause pre-echo?

Also, you use free as in speech and 'libre'. Perhaps
it will not be very clear what you mean to people 
unfamiliar with FSF ideas. It's clear in the text
you can't really explain it in 3 words. If you consider
it important enough to mention several times, it
is worthwhile to explain why exactly 'libre' is
important. This is Vorbis's reason of existance
after all.

I'm quite sure Frauhoffer is not the correct spelling.

I would (personally) leave out the part about visually 
comparing the bitrate modes. Visual comparisation of
perceptual codecs are basically flawed. (the 'big test'
remark saves you a bit there)

Goof here

Also:
OGG, ogg, Ogg

Bit more uniformity in naming same thing is always good.

>mp3 doesn't shine at relatively low bitrates

Compared to ogg, mp3 doesn't really shine at any bitrate
(you forgot punctuation too)

>Nothing but OGG has stepped up to fill the void.

This isn't true. It's just that anything else is so
patented as to be useless.

(This is all IMHO of course)
