Format Description
MP3
The most popular format for downloading and storing music, MP3 compresses sound files to roughly one-tenth the size of uncompressed files while maintaining good audio quality. However, the MP3 format is proprietary and not royalty-free, which can be a hindrance to audio distributors.
Ogg Vorbis
A file compression format designed for Web audio, Ogg Vorbis is an open source and royalty-free format. In general, Ogg Vorbis provides better sound quality than MP3, especially at lower bitrates. However, few portable players support Ogg Vorbis, while the MP3 format has almost universal support.
WAV
The original audio format for Windows PCs, WAV is commonly used for storing uncompressed CD-quality sound. In this format, a WAV file requires about 10 megabytes per minute of sound, making it impractical as a format for Web audio for all but the shortest audio clips.
