You can't "burn audio CD's directly from the OGG files". I mean, you can burn OGG files on a CD, but it won't be an Audio CD, in the CDDA sense.
Sorry if that's what you meant but it seemed unclear. =p There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I was myself always surprised at the conversion speeds of Nero. Like, burning an Audio CD from MP3 files seems to take as much time as it takes burning one from WAV files. But yeah, there's no Audio CD without using WAV PCM, so I guess we can just say Nero has some nice decompression algorithms.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Well, it's simple really. There are 2 categories: Lossless and Lossy. Lossless can be uncompressed like PCM or WAV, or can be compressed without any loss in quality like APE or FLAC. Lossy (MP3, OGG, MPC ...) is always compressed, but this time this compression do alter the quality.
Converting MP3 (an already lossy compressed audio fle) to WAV (a lossless uncompressed audio file) will not provoke any further loss in quality. The WAV will sound just the same as the MP3 it was converted from, but will weight 10x more. =) However, recompressing that WAV (that was created from a MP3) to another MP3 will create an additional quality loss since the original audio would have now been compressed 2 times. Capice? =) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

Well, burning Audio CDs from Lossy formats isnt recommended but heh, it's like listening to the Lossy format on your PC, all in all. I personally expressly mention on the CD that it was burn from Lossy though, so I don't go ripping it in the future.
What people usually flip about, and with good reason, is converting Lossy to Lossy. Like, people who don't like the OGG format will convert it to MP3 and won't realize the audio has suffered losses 2 times now. I was speaking idiomatically. |

The facts it doesnt require additional plugins and is compatible with portable devices count a lot, I guess.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

It's kinda pointless to say that OGG "sounds better" than MP3. Sure, it sounds better at equal bitrates, but then the issue isnt so much sound quality than file size.
And yeah, in our 100$ 350GB HD era, people don't care about file sizes as much as they used to. FELIPE NO |

Interesting. Must say I wasn't aware it wasn't just a filesize issue. =/
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
