> It is interesting that 15 years later, with Ogg Vorbis not only providing better audio quality at a given bitrate, and Opus apparently even better, MP3 is still abundant.
MP3 requires far less memory to decode than Ogg Vorbis does. This was a big deal at the time as RAM cells added cost to the MP3 decoders.
Now, with CELT (which later became the Opus codec) this was not true. But it took a long time to get there.
