no, of course not, but you can see that mp3 has the tendency to cut off the sound after 16-17k, and that will definately be audible, whereas ogg keeps the spectrum alot fuller.
It's also interesting to see that ogg is able to compress alot harder while still keeping more bandwith than mp3.
Now between mp3 at 320kb/s and ogg at 320 you'd be hard pressed to find differences, but when you o lower at 128 or 96kb you can hear the difference, i can't remember who posted a blind test (however reliable those are) with this conclusion, i've done it myself and have to say that at lower bitrates ogg is much better than mp3.
I said mp3 is bad, i didn't say it didnt sound as good, i meant the compression algorithm is not true and doesnt retain the original waveform completely, even at reasonably high bitrates it cuts off higher frequencies
