[TOS #5] From: New Public Multiformat Listening Test (Jan 2014)

Oh my God! As I remembered ... there's a statement which regarding to OGG and MP's quality. They said:


* OGG Vorbis in 244kbps is close to MP3 in 320kbps
* In n<128kbps OGG results a better quality than MP3


but in here I found MP3 is the best
Which one is right?

Do some personal listening tests and see what you prefer. You can also look at results from past listening tests.
Personally I find 244Kbps too high to notice any differences. Vorbis is transparent at this bitrate for me.
Vorbis should be slightly more efficient than MP3 at similar bitrates.

Shortly, a quality of recollected results should be higher because now a listeners should rank low-middle anchor higher than low anchor. If some particular listener rank the low anchor higher than  it's an indicator that something is wrong.

MP3@96 kbps has received a high number of votes , 8.   
Two birds in one shot! MP3@96kbps as low-middle anchor + we test it as one additional codec at 96 kbps. 

What do You think?

Psychoacoustic model of mp3's better then AAC? Hmm... Only cutoff frequency can't be solely parameter of the coder's quality, isn't it?

lsn_RU,
You should probably open a new thread.

We discuss here a conditions of listening test.
