What is OGG?
OGG files are used to store music while using less bandwidth. The OGG format has superior sound quality to MP3s and a smaller file size. With OGG files, you can also store a song’s metadata, such as track data and artist information. You can play OGG files with several types of media players including Windows Media Player, VLC, MPlayer, Adobe Audition and more. You can also play OGG files via Google Drive.
Due to their high compression rate and open-source nature, OGG files are often used by game developers to provide in-game audio. Spotify also uses the OGG format for its digital encoding, in order to prevent illegal downloading and pirating.
What is MP3?
An MP3 is a digital audio file that’s compressed so it’s easy to store and transfer. It’s a lossy format, meaning it drops some of the audio’s sound when it’s compressed. Most of this dropped sound is inaudible when you play it back, however. MP3 files can be about one-tenth the size of lossless audio files, making them easy to share, store and play back on most devices.
