Frequently asked questions
Why does OGG use quality levels instead of a bitrate?
Vorbis is a variable-bitrate codec by design. You pick a quality target from 0 to 10 and the encoder spends bits where the audio needs them, so a quiet passage costs less than a dense one. That is why the main control is a quality scale, with fixed bitrate tucked away as an advanced option.
Is OGG better than MP3 at the same bitrate?
Generally yes — Vorbis was designed a decade after MP3 and holds detail better around 96–128 kbps. The trade-off is reach: almost everything plays MP3, while OGG is mostly limited to browsers, Android, and desktop players.
Is OGG patent-free?
Yes. Vorbis is an open, royalty-free format from the Xiph.Org Foundation, which is why it became common in open-source software and game engines where licensing an MP3 or AAC encoder would be a problem.
Will OGG files play on an iPhone?
Not in the built-in Music app. Safari and iOS have limited Vorbis support, so choose M4A or MP3 if the file needs to work across Apple devices without a third-party player.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding and encoding both run locally in your browser, so your audio never leaves your device.
