OGG and FLAC explained

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

FLAC compresses audio losslessly, typically to about half the size of WAV. Decompressed, it is bit-for-bit identical to the original — the compression is mathematical, not perceptual.

Where OGG files come from
Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
Where FLAC is used
Hi-fi music libraries and archival rips of physical media.

OGG vs FLAC

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

Why convert OGG to FLAC?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGG: sharing with iPhone users or general distribution. FLAC is the better fit when archiving music you may want to re-encode later, or storing CD rips.

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 Largely superseded by Opus.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
Much larger than MP3 or AAC. Not supported natively by all portable devices.

Does converting OGG to FLAC reduce quality?

Going from OGG to FLAC moves already-compressed data into a format that stores it exactly. Nothing is lost from this point on, but nothing is recovered either — the detail OGG discarded when the file was first created is gone permanently. Expect a noticeably larger file for identical visual quality.

The output is a lossless container, but the audio inside it was already compressed. You get a bigger file, not better sound.
