OGG (.ogg) · Max 20 MB
Podcast hosting platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts all support MP3. 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
Why aren't my OGG files playing on my iPhone?
iOS doesn't support OGG natively. Converting to MP3 or M4A will make them playable on any Apple device.
Will quality decrease?
Both OGG and MP3 are lossy, so transcoding involves some quality loss. At 320kbps MP3, the difference is minimal for most listeners.
What bitrate should I choose?
Match or exceed the source OGG bitrate. If your OGG is 192kbps, use at least 256kbps MP3 to avoid noticeable quality loss.
Is OGG or MP3 better quality?
At the same bitrate, OGG generally sounds slightly better than MP3. But MP3 has universal device support, which often matters more.
