OGG and Opus explained

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

Opus is the current state of the art for lossy audio, and the codec behind most voice calls you make over the internet. It performs well across an unusually wide range, from 6 kbps speech to transparent music.

Where OGG files come from
Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
Where Opus is used
Voice and video calls, modern podcast pipelines and WebRTC.

OGG vs Opus

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

Why convert OGG to Opus?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGG: sharing with iPhone users or general distribution. Opus is the better fit when voice content, or any situation where bandwidth is tight.

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 Largely superseded by Opus.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
Older hardware and car stereos generally cannot play it. Less recognised by users than MP3.

Does converting OGG to Opus reduce quality?

Both OGG and Opus 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.
