Ogg Vorbis Audio
OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is an open-source, royalty-free audio format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. Ogg Vorbis provides better audio quality than MP3 at comparable bitrates, with particularly noticeable improvements at lower bitrates (96-128 kbps). The format supports variable bitrate encoding, metadata comments, and audio streams up to 255 channels. OGG is commonly used in gaming (Unity, Unreal Engine), streaming applications, web audio, and open-source software. All major web browsers support OGG via the HTML5 audio element. Spotify uses OGG Vorbis for its streaming service at various quality levels. While less universally supported than MP3 on hardware devices, OGG's open-source nature and superior quality make it popular in technical and gaming communities.
