Today I'm going to talk about why software - any software, all software - actually matters, what the different types of software are, and why you should care about its properties (no matter who you are, or what you do).

let me get this straight, both work by removeing sounds that go outside of the hearing range of the avarage human ear right? the real diffrence is what they do to the rest of the data. so converting from one to the other should in theory mean close to 0, only that with a ogg you could get a smaller file with about the same quality. sure bitrate have something to say about the finer points but anything outside of analog will lossy in that respect. but then there is the audiophiles that back of from "lossy" compression like a religius person backs away from a discussion about flaws in theyre religion. to bad we cant prove that they hear or dont have what they claim unless we set them up with a clinical test, and why bother, its theyre own money they are burning anyways...
