MP3 (.mp3) · Max 20 MB

Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support OGG. It's the safe choice for distribution.

For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.

Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OGG better than MP3?

In terms of audio quality per bitrate, yes. OGG Vorbis at 128kbps sounds roughly equivalent to MP3 at 160-192kbps. It's also completely open-source and patent-free.

What apps support OGG?

Most modern media players (VLC, foobar2000), web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot), and audio editors (Audacity). Apple devices need a third-party app.

Can I play OGG files on iPhone?

Not natively. iOS doesn't support OGG out of the box. You'll need a third-party player like VLC for iOS, or convert to M4A/MP3 instead.

Is the conversion lossless?

No. Both MP3 and OGG are lossy formats. Converting between them involves re-encoding, which can introduce a slight quality loss. For best results, convert from a lossless source like WAV or FLAC.
