WMA to OGG: Convert Audio from WMA(Windows Media Audio) to OGG(OGG Vorbis Audio) with River Past Audio Converter, WMA2OGG converter, conversion
What is
WMA?
Short for Windows
Media Audio, a Microsoft file format for encoding digital audio files similar
to MP3 though can compress files at a higher rate than MP3.
WMA files, which use the “.wma” file extension, can be of any size compressed
to match many different connection speeds, or bandwidths.
Additional information is available on Microsoft
Windows Media page.
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.
