Ogg is very nice but has one problem: decompression is way more complex for ogg than for mp3. So you need more processing power to play ogg and the devices that allow to play both mp3 and ogg consume more power from the batteries when playing ogg, resulting in reduced autonomy. I don't know however if similar differences exist between mp3 and wma/aac.
