APE to OGG: Convert Audio from APE(Monkey Audio) to OGG(OGG Vorbis Audio) with River Past Audio Converter, APE2OGG converter, conversion
What is
APE?
Monkey’s Audio is a fast and easy
way to compress digital music. Unlike traditional methods such as mp3,
ogg, or lqt that permanently discard quality
to save space, Monkey’s Audio only makes perfect, bit-for-bit copies of your
music. That means it always sounds perfect – exactly the same as the original.
Even though the sound is perfect, it still saves a lot of space. (think
of it as a beefed-up Winzip™ for your music) The other great thing is that you
can always decompress your Monkey's Audio files back to the exact, original
files. That way, you'll never have to recopy your CD collection to switch
formats, and you'll always be able to recreate the original music CD if something
ever happens to yours.
To convert Monkey Audio APE files to another format, you can either install Radlight
APE DirectShow Filter, or DC-Bass
Decoder.
What is
OGG?
Ogg Vorbis (sometimes just called Vorbis)
is an open source patent-free audio compression format, developed as a replacement
for proprietary digital audio encoding formats, such as MP3,
VQF, and AAC.
Vorbis files (which have an .ogg extension) compress to a smaller size than
MP3 files, which reduces bandwidth and storage requirements. According to many
reports, Vorbis provides better sound quality than MP3.
To encode OGG Vorbis audio with River Past software, please have
either Torbias' OGG
DirectShow Filters or Radlight
Ogg Media Filters installed.
