An OGG/Vorbis file can be converted to several useful targets. The right one depends on what happens next.
OGG to MP3
Choose MP3 when broad playback compatibility and a compact file matter. Because both Vorbis and MP3 are lossy, this is another lossy encoding step. Avoid repeated round trips when quality matters.
OGG to WAV
WAV is useful as a working format for trimming, merging or software that expects PCM. As with MP3 to WAV, the larger file does not restore information already lost in the source.
OGG to FLAC
FLAC stores the decoded OGG signal without adding another lossy codec stage, but it cannot reconstruct the pre-OGG original. The same principle is explained in MP3 to FLAC.
Open the audio converter, import OGG and choose the output that matches your goal. The main Audio guide compares the main formats. For multi-step processing, build the chain in the Workspace and encode the delivery format last.
Key point
Choose MP3 for compact compatibility, WAV for a straightforward working format, and FLAC when you want lossless storage of the signal you currently have.
