OGG and WAV explained

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

WAV stores uncompressed PCM audio — the raw samples, exactly as captured. A stereo CD-quality minute is roughly 10 MB, which is the price of having no compression whatsoever.

Where OGG files come from
Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
Where WAV is used
Recording sessions, sample libraries and audio editing.

OGG vs WAV

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

Why convert OGG to WAV?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGG: sharing with iPhone users or general distribution. WAV is the better fit when recording, editing, mastering, or handing audio to another tool.

Be aware of the size trade-off: WAV is uncompressed, so expect the converted file to be considerably larger than the OGG you started with.

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 Largely superseded by Opus.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
Very large files. No standard metadata support worth relying on.

Does converting OGG to WAV reduce quality?

Going from OGG to WAV 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.
