How do I convert WAV audio to OGG without losing quality?
+
Upload the WAV file and our converter chooses the OGG codec / bitrate combination that matches the source. Lossless target (OGG = WAV / FLAC / ALAC) preserves every sample; lossy target (OGG = MP3 / AAC / OGG) defaults to 192 kbps which is transparent for most ears.
What bitrate does the OGG file use?
+
Default 192 kbps for lossy OGG; pass-through for lossless OGG. Override to 320 kbps for audiophile or 96 kbps for voice / podcast. The choice trades file size against audible fidelity at very low bitrates.
Will going from WAV to OGG reduce my audio quality?
+
If WAV is lossy and OGG is lossless (e.g. MP3 → WAV), the OGG file is no better than the WAV — you can't recover information that's already been thrown away. If WAV is lossless and OGG is lossy, expect the OGG codec to recompress; at 192 kbps this is transparent for most content.
Does the WAV to OGG converter keep ID3 / metadata tags?
+
Yes — title, artist, album, year, track number, album art are read from WAV and written into the OGG container (where the OGG format supports tags, which all common ones do).
Can I batch convert hundreds of WAV files to OGG?
+
Yes — drop a folder of WAV files in and we process them in parallel. Premium has more parallel workers and no per-file size cap, so a 500-file batch finishes in minutes rather than tens of minutes.
Will the OGG keep the same sample rate as WAV?
+
By default yes (48 kHz WAV → 48 kHz OGG). If you need to downsample for compatibility (e.g. 96 kHz → 44.1 kHz for CD burning) the advanced sample-rate option does this with high-quality resampling.
Can I normalize loudness in the WAV to OGG step?
+
Yes — the loudness-normalize option applies ITU-R BS.1770 / EBU R128 normalization to the OGG output, targeting -14 LUFS (streaming standard) or -16 LUFS (podcast standard). Useful when batch-converting tracks with varying mastering levels.
Will the OGG play on my car stereo / iPod / Sonos?
+
MP3 plays universally. AAC plays on Apple, most Android, Sonos. FLAC plays on Sonos and Android, less well on older iPods. WAV plays on everything but is huge. The advanced options include device presets for these common targets.
Is my WAV file private during conversion?
+
Yes — uploaded WAV files are processed in isolated workers and deleted within minutes. We never play, store, or share the audio content.
How long does converting a 1-hour WAV to OGG take?
+
Same-codec re-mux: 10-30 seconds. Re-encode to a different codec: typically 10-20% of source duration, so a 1-hour WAV → OGG finishes in 6-12 minutes.
Why is the OGG file louder / quieter than the WAV source?
+
No automatic gain change happens unless you turn on the normalize option. If you do see a level change, your audio player or media library may be applying ReplayGain or per-track normalization on playback — not us.
Can I convert WAV streaming downloads to OGG?
+
If the WAV download is unprotected (no DRM), yes. DRM-encrypted streaming files (Spotify, Apple Music) are encrypted at the bit level and we can't process them. Sources from Bandcamp, SoundCloud download, and personal recordings convert fine.
