Is OGG better than AAC?

Both AAC and Ogg are lossy and compressed, while at different bit rates, their performances vary a lot. To sloppily say this one is better than the other one solely from bit rate performance is flimsy….Quality.

Bit Rate	Results
256k	OGG > AAC
320k	OGG = AAC
>320k	Both OGG and AAC are almost lossless

Is Ogg lighter than MP3?

The compressed file in OGG Vorbis format is smaller than the compressed file of the MP3 format.
