Ogg

Many programs in Debian support Ogg playback/recording. Use vorbis-tools for command line manipulation of Ogg files.

Ogg can encapsulate various audio and video formats: Opus Vorbis FLAC Speex CELT Theora Dirac

mp3

MP3 is a widely supported, lossy audio compression format with a lower compression ratio than Ogg.

AAC

Many multimedia tools in Debian support this format either using recent FFmpeg native AAC support or the Free AAC (FAAC) implementation (faac, faad), and the Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec for Android (fdk-aac)
