Why do people hate MP3's so much compared to OGG? MP3's seem to have better compression to me and sound better so wtf?

Well, I've never heard of anyone hating Mp3s either, but Ogg Vorbis is a better compression. If you compare an MP3 and Ogg of the same bit rate, you'll notice that Ogg sounds a lot less compressed.

Isn't ACC supposed to be the best format as far as compression goes?

u might have seen people saying they hate mp3's in wav related discussions (only saying that 'cuz i have plenty of times), and those ppl just hate the annoying pause at the end of mp3's, which gets in the way of looping.

other than that tho, mp3's are pretty popular, from what i've seen.

just guessing, btw

I've never even heard of this argument before.

OGGs are normally prefered to MP3s in things like game design as the license is free and they don't artifact when looping, but the compression is only marginly better.
