I can't audibly tell the difference between the two. I do know OGG has better file compression, though I've only tested this with medium to low bitrate ogg's against 196kbps MP3's. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason why I would be debating the better file format would be because I want to know which file format is the least "lossiest" at a given bitrate. And since subjective measurements don't convince me, it's a question best left for those who can find the time and resources to do an objective test.

Are we just voting on quality, or overall? Because MP3 obviously has a big advantage in the portable device area.

I've gotta go with mp3...
First I have been using it for a long time. Everything I have is in mp3 and to rip them again to ogg would be time consuming.
Its so well supported. My car stereo plays it, portable mp3 player, my computer at work which we aren't allowed to DL new codecs too.
All my friends us it. I can easily swap stuff with friends, hand them a disk and say "check this shit out" instead of, "go here DL this then check this shit out". Especially with how comp illiterate a lot of my friends are.
It is mainly for convenience.
