1. I find that Vorbis is a considerably better format. The file size to quality ratio is considerably more favorable. The fact that Vorbis is open source works very much in its favor. As I understand it, were there the tools to do it, a Vorbis file could be much more manipulable than an MP3 file.
2. What works in MP3's favor is that everyone's using it. Forbis has never caught on in the mainstream, despite all the predictions that it would. It's the VHS versus Beta thing. If Vorbis ever does catch on in the mainstream, I will be surprised. Some portable units support vorbis, but these are few and far between.

Greetings!
This topic has probably been thrashed to absolute hell.
What are peoples thoughts on these 2 compression methods, does one have any advantages over the other? I've never played with Vorbis.
