OGG to MP3

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

OGG is an open audio container format that generally contains Vorbis codecs, whereas MP3 is a lossy audio format that is supported by almost all music players, mobile phones, and older devices. The OGG to MP3 tool converts OGG files to MP3 to make it easier to play on different devices. Because both formats are lossy, conversion cannot restore lost audio details, so bitrate selection needs to be considered.

Key points

OGG is often used for Vorbis audio and is popular in Linux as well as games.
MP3 has the widest compatibility of devices
Conversion of lossy to lossy adds one generation of quality loss
Bitrate 192-320 kbps is good for music, 96-128 kbps is good for podcasting.
Save the original OGG file if you still want to edit
