| Description | OGG is a compressed audio file format or file extension used to store audio data. It was developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation and can include track and artist information as well as metadata.The OGG extension was created to replace proprietary audio formats like mp3, VQF, and AAC. OGG files are compressed to a smaller size than mp3 files, resulting in lower bandwidth and storage requirements. Additionally, OGG files offer better sound quality compared to mp3 files of the same size. Most players, such as VLC and Windows Media Player, can open and play OGG files.Note!

| Technical details | How to create and how to open an OGG file? There are many ways to create an OGG file. You can convert WAV, WMA, or MP3 to OGG, create a new OGG file, convert a playlist/folder, or rip a CD/track to OGG. Simply right-click on the file and select "convert to," then "OGG" on the menu that pops up. You can also use audio converter software to create OGG files from proprietary formats. To open an OGG file, use any music and audio software like VLC, Windows Media Player, Miro, MPlayer, Adobe Audition, Audials One, Xion, etc. You can also drag OGG files into Google Chrome or open them online. GPS devices can open OGG files, although Apple devices don't support the format, so you'll need to download an app like VLC or OPlayer. Which other formats OGG can be converted into and why? OGG files can be converted to many other audio file formats. Simply right-click on the OGG file and convert it to your preferred format. You can convert OGG to any of the following formats: 1. MP3 2. WAV 3. M4A 4. AAC Although OGG audio files are free, unpatented, and smaller than MP3, not many portable players support the format. You'll need to convert OGG to MP3 or other formats that are supported by your device. Some programs also don't allow saving in OGG, so you might need to convert back to OGG once you are done working on the audio file. There are many advantages to OGG.
