AAC and OGG explained

AAC is the successor to MP3 and is the default audio codec for MP4 video, Apple Music and YouTube. At the same bitrate it generally sounds noticeably better than MP3.

OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a royalty-free lossy codec that predates Opus. It is competitive with AAC and remains common in games.

Where AAC files come from
Streaming services, video soundtracks and Apple devices.
Where OGG is used
Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.

AAC vs OGG

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert AAC to OGG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of AAC: archiving, or targeting very old playback hardware. OGG is the better fit when game development or an open-source pipeline.

AAC limitations that prompt the switch
Still lossy. Patent licensing applies to encoders. Slightly less universal than MP3 on very old hardware.
What you give up
Apple devices do not support it natively. Largely superseded by Opus.

Does converting AAC to OGG reduce quality?

Both AAC and OGG are lossy, so this is a re-encode: the file is decoded and compressed again. At the default quality setting the difference is very hard to see, but each successive re-encode compounds. If you will need the file again later, keep the AAC original rather than converting back and forth.
