Confronto dei punti di forza

AAC Punti di forza

Better quality than MP3 at equal bitrate — the industry standard since 2000s.
Universally supported on every smartphone, OS, and browser.
Efficient on battery thanks to widespread hardware decoding.
Scales from 8 kbps speech (HE-AACv2) to lossy-transparent 320 kbps.
Five-channel + LFE surround support out of the box.

OGG Punti di forza

Completely royalty-free — no patent worries for encoders or decoders.
Container is streaming-friendly — useful for internet radio.
Native support in HTML5 <audio>, every major Linux distro, and most audio tools.
Can multiplex any number of tracks (audio, video, text) in one file.
Mature tooling via libvorbis, libopus, and FFmpeg.

Limitazioni

AAC Limitazioni

Patent-encumbered — encoders have licensing fees, which is why open alternatives (Opus, Vorbis) exist.
Slightly more complex to encode than MP3.
Raw .aac streams carry no seek index — tooling often prefers M4A/MP4 containers.
Lossy — not suitable for archival or studio production.

OGG Limitazioni

Apple and Microsoft avoided Ogg historically — iOS and Safari only added Opus support recently.
Hardware decoder support is rare — encoding for battery-constrained devices (phones) still favors AAC.
Confusing naming: ".ogg" could be Vorbis, Opus, Speex, or FLAC.
Metadata conventions (Vorbis comments) are simpler than MP4's tagging.
