OGG and AAC explained

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

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.

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

OGG vs AAC

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

Why convert OGG to AAC?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGG: sharing with iPhone users or general distribution. AAC is the better fit when modern streaming, or the audio track of a video.

OGG limitations that prompt the switch
Apple devices do not support it natively. Largely superseded by Opus. Poor support in consumer hardware.
What you give up
Still lossy. Patent licensing applies to encoders.

Does converting OGG to AAC reduce quality?

Both OGG and AAC 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 OGG original rather than converting back and forth.
