How to convert WMA to OGG
Add your WMA files
Drag and drop WMA 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 OGG file or all of them as one ZIP.
Why convert WMA to OGG?
Linux and open-source players prefer OGG over Microsoft's format.
What happens when you convert WMA to OGG?
The audio is re-encoded to Vorbis at 192 kbps.
How does Fylo convert WMA to OGG?
Fylo decodes the WMA audio in the WMA with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly and encodes it with the Vorbis encoder (libvorbis) at 192 kbps in an Ogg container. Both formats are lossy, so each conversion discards a little detail — start from the highest-bitrate WMA you have. A 3-minute song is ≈ 3.6 MB at 160 kbps as WMA and ≈ 3.6 MB at 160 kbps as OGG. The original sample rate and channel layout are kept unless you change them under Advanced.
What's the difference between WMA and OGG?
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.
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.
