Royalty-free, lossy, and a longtime favorite for games and open-source projects.

Heads up

Heads up before converting to OGG

What this specific conversion changes about your audio.

Re-encoding M4A to OGG stacks compression

Both M4A and OGG are lossy, so converting between them compresses already-compressed audio and can add artifacts. When possible, convert from the original lossless master instead of from another lossy file.

Best practice

Best practices for OGG

Small choices that keep your output sounding right.

  • Play the first converted file before batch-converting the rest, so you catch a wrong setting early.
  • For OGG, choose a bitrate that fits the use: 192–256 kbps keeps most music transparent, 320 kbps for archival-grade lossy.
  • Check that title, artist, album and cover art survived the conversion; some players cache old tags.
When to skip

When NOT to convert to OGG

Cases where a different format serves you better.

  • When the file must play on older devices

    OGG is not supported everywhere (Wide). For old phones, car stereos, or legacy software, MP3 or AAC is a safer choice than OGG.
