Ogg is the format that is used the most around here.

If you were to use an MP3 in your game, you would need to pay a licence fee to the owner of the MP3 tech.

You can easily convert from MP3 to OGG with Audacity (it is free). The file will actually be a bit smaller in OGG format I believe.

So, I can't put any MP3 in without paying for it?

Nope Blame software patents for not even being able to use MP3-compatible decoders from others than Fraunhofer safely.

Don't convert from MP3 to Vorbis, though. Get the original WAV and compress it to avoid artifacts.
