# What Kind of Files Can I Play?

FreeAmp plays MPEG-1 (layer 2 and layer 3) and MPEG-2 audio files and Ogg/Vorbis files. This includes HTTP-based streams such as SHOUTcast, icecast, and RTP-based streams such as Obsequiem. FreeAmp can play all the MP3 files you find on the EMusic.com Web site.

FreeAmp plays files created with CBR (Constant Bitrate) and VBR (Variable Bitrate), the very latest encoding technology.
