  Vorbis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is often mistakenly called just Ogg (in turn mistakenly written in uppercase, "OGG") due to either the file container Ogg, the file extension.ogg or possibly even the MIME content type application/ogg used for Vorbis playback in streaming.
Another indication of Ogg Vorbis' increasing popularity is the number of music websites using it, like Jamendo or Mindawn, as well as several national radio stations—such as Radio France, CBC Radio and Virgin Radio —providing additional Vorbis streams.
Ogg Vorbis is supported by several large digital audio player manufacturers such as Samsung, Rio, Neuros and iRiver.

 An Introduction to Compressed Audio with Ogg Vorbis
In fact, the Ogg Vorbis format encoders don't normally consider bitrate at all (the default mode of operation is VBR), instead using a "quality" rating, which ranges from -1 to 10 in increments of 0.01 or so.
Ogg Vorbis is a good choice because the sound quality is among the best of the newest formats out there.
Ogg Vorbis files also potentially support "bitrate peeling", which means you could produce a lower bitrate file from a higher bitrate file without re-encoding and at the same quality as if you'd encoded the file directly into the lower bitrate from the original file.
