technology is sexy writes "Following the increasing popularity of AAC in online music stores and the growing amount of implementations in software and hardware, the format is now being put to the test. How well does Apple's implementation fare against Ahead Nero, Sorenson or the Open Source FAAC at the popular bitrate of 128kbps? Find out for yourself and help by submitting the results. You can find instructions on how to participate here. The best AAC codec gets to face MP3, MP3Pro, Vorbis, MusePack and WMA in the next test. Previous test results at 64kbps can be found here."

Okay, normally I don't do this, but this is getting freakin' annoying.

Ogg = Container Format, like QuickTime
Vorbis = Audio Codec, like AAC

You can, theoretically, store a Vorbis bitstream inside a QuickTime container, if you wanted to. Or an AAC stream inside an Ogg container. Why do people keep making this mistake?
