So I played around with converting the original WAV file into an OGG and MP3. Quick findings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WAV:&nbsp; RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz size at <b>1020K<\/b><\/li>\n<li>OGG: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, mono, 16000 Hz, ~48000 bps, created by: Xiph.Org libVorbis I, sized at <b>148K<\/b>, converted via <tt>oggenc 071203_01.wav -o 071203_01.ogg<\/tt><\/li>\n<li>MP3: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2,&nbsp; 24 kBits, 16 kHz, Monaural, sized at <b>104K<\/b>, converted via <tt>lame 071203_01.wav<\/tt><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This was on a clip that was 32 seconds in length. The MP3 is smaller than the OGG, and there&#8217;s no noticeable sound difference between all the 3 formats. Is there something to make the OGGs generated by <tt>oggenc<\/tt> smaller? I&#8217;m happy if they just match the MP3 file sizes, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>Time to start podcasting? :)<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/ogg\" rel=\"tag\">ogg<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/wav\" rel=\"tag\">wav<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/mp3\" rel=\"tag\">mp3<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/size\" rel=\"tag\">size<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/sansa%20e280\" rel=\"tag\">sansa e280<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/sandisk\" rel=\"tag\">sandisk<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/oggenc\" rel=\"tag\">oggenc<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/lame\" rel=\"tag\">lame<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Size%20differences%20between%20WAV%2C%20OGG%2C%20MP3&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2007%2F12%2F02%2Fsize-differences-between-wav-ogg-mp3&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
