About OGG Files

.ogg Icon

An .ogg file (or .oga file) is an audio file that typically contains music or a podcast. It stores audio data in the Ogg multimedia container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation that may be encoded by various codecs, including FLAC, Ghost, OggPCM, or Vorbis (some .ogg files may contain video data, but the Xiph.Org Foundation has recommended against it since 2007). An .ogg or .oga file may also store metadata, such as artist names and album details.

The Ogg container format is open source and widely used by audio enthusiasts for streaming, downloading, and archiving multimedia without licensing restrictions. Game and software developers also use .ogg and .oga files, often for game background music or program sound effects.

Converting OGG Files

You may want to convert an .ogg or .oga file to an .mp3 file since more devices and media players support the MP3 format. However, converting to the MP3 format will likely lead to some audio quality degradation and may result in a larger file size than the original .ogg or .oga file.

You can also convert .ogg and .oga files to the AAC format, which is typically a better option for retaining sound quality than converting to MP3 (but some degradation will occur). Also, AAC is not open-source like Ogg, which may lead to licensing issues in open-source projects.
