Looks cool. The only other formats it might be compared to are Dolby Digital and DTS, and they use such high bitrates that comparing them to MP3 Surround is like comparing apples and oranges. Maybe Pro Logic II would be a better point of reference. If anything, this new format might get more people involved in the multi-channel Vorbis project that still hasn't seen the light of day. Anyway, I'll test this MP3 Surround thingy and post a review in a few days.
