How to convert OGG to WMA
Add your OGG files
Drag and drop OGG files into the box or tap to choose them. The converter engine (about 31 MB) downloads once, the first time you convert.
Pick a bitrate
192 kbps suits music and 128 kbps or less suits speech. Sample rate and mono/stereo are under Advanced.
Convert and download
Click Convert, then download each WMA file or all of them as one ZIP.
Why convert OGG to WMA?
Windows Media Player can't play OGG without codec packs.
What happens when you convert OGG to WMA?
The audio is re-encoded to WMA2 at 192 kbps.
How does Fylo convert OGG to WMA?
Fylo decodes the Vorbis audio in the OGG with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly and encodes it with Windows Media Audio 2 (wmav2) at 192 kbps in an ASF container. Both formats are lossy, so each conversion discards a little detail — start from the highest-bitrate OGG you have. A 3-minute song is ≈ 3.6 MB at 160 kbps as OGG and ≈ 3.6 MB at 160 kbps as WMA. The original sample rate and channel layout are kept unless you change them under Advanced.
What's the difference between OGG and WMA?
Ogg is an open container from the Xiph.Org Foundation; Vorbis, the audio codec most .ogg files use, reached version 1.0 in 2002. Vorbis was created as a free, unpatented alternative to MP3 and sounds better at the same bitrate.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) was released by Microsoft in 1999 to compete with MP3 and is stored in the ASF container. Windows Media Player ripped CDs to WMA by default for years, so many older music collections are WMA.
