How should I decide whether to download the MP3 formatted file or the OGG-formatted file?
In blindfolded listening tests, most people report that an OGG-formatted file sounds better than a corresponding MP3-formatted file. Each OGG file is smaller (it compresses better) than the corresponding MP3 file, so it will download faster. So you may prefer the OGG file. But some audio players don’t know how to play OGG files and only know how to play MP3 files. If your audio player only plays MP3 files, then you will want to download the MP3 files. • How should I listen to these lectures?
