Q: I know MP3 is the most popular audio format out there, but there are so many others —like OGG and FLAC. I'm not really sure which is the right one to use. What's the difference between FLAC vs OGG, and which one should I use to rip my music?
A: Audio formats can be roughly divided into two categories. One is high quality and lossless audio and the other is lossy audio. Although both are compressed, the former is still lossless audio. OGG belongs to the latter, while FLAC belongs to the former.
Free Lossless Audio Codec ( FLAC ) is the most popular lossless audio codec, which has been compressed to take up much less space, but it is still a lossless audio format and keeps the same quality as the original files. FLAC is also free and open source, and many devices support this format. If you have a higher standard for ripping music, I recommend FLAC format to you.
The Vorbis format, also known as the OGG Vorbis format for its use of OGG container. Although it is a free and open source format like MP3, AAC, it is much less popular than MP3 and AAC. There are few players that support it. I am not going to recommend this format to you unless you have a player that can play it.
