The two most-used audio file types are OGG and MP3, and these two are known as lossy compression audio formats. MP3 is short for MPEG, Audio Layers 3. MP3’s can typically hold a lot of songs on a standardized cd. The popularity created the path for MP3 players; however, it caused an uproar since copyrighted music became instantly obtainable for free, which is illegal.
It can also be sent through e-mail and shared electronically. Its small file size can also be embedded into websites, which you can also download. The OGG is another compressed digital audio format, and believe it or not, OGG stands for Oh Good Grief.
It is smaller in file size, and it is even more compressed; unlike patented MP3, OGG is not restricted by any patents since it is open and free for all. OGG compression of digital audio varies in bit rate, and the bit rate varies depending upon the need. With OGG, a five- minute sound of silence will have miniature file size or no size at all.
