Audio Formats – Ogg Vorbis

• Ogg Vorbis Pros

  • Ogg Vorbis is the heir apparent to mp3.
  • Unencumbered by patent issues.
  • Performance is slightly better than mp3, better at higher bitrates.

• Ogg Vorbis Cons

  • Some artifacts at lower bitrates.
  • Little to no hardware support (e.g. portable mp3 players, though newer players are including both mp3 and ogg decoders.)
