Ogg Vorbis Audio File

| Description | 🔵 OGA files are the audio-only element of the OGG multimedia file system. If you were accessing an OGA file before 2007, it would probably have appeared on your PC as a document with .ogg extension. However, since the OGG format creator, Xiph.Org Foundation, created other extensions to cater to specific data types, multimedia files are now stored with data-specific extensions like .ogv, .oga, .ogm, .ogx, all under the OGG file system. In effect, instead of having a media file containing audio, video, text, and metadata all encoded into a chunk, each data type is encoded separately with a specific extension. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Since the OGG file system is open source, the audio-only OGA files can be written or modified using Ogg FLAC, OggPCM, Ogg Vorbis, or Speex, the last two not having favorable reviews. The Xiph.Org Foundation made a similar software to the public; the software pack makes it possible for open-source or commercial Windows applications to utilize OGA files without any conflict. |

The simplest way is to use an Apple voice recorder or convert another audio format into M4A. There are several programs and applications out there that support the playback of M4A files. Some of them are Winamp, VLC Media Player, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime. The other programs that open M4A files are Microsoft Zune, Elmedia Player (for Mac users), Apple iTunes, Rhythmbox (for Linux users), and iPad. Which other formats M4A can be converted into and whyM4A files may be a strong competitor to the MP3 file formats. Yet, this type of digital audio file format has many disadvantages, such as appearing as a data file (instead of a media or document), and low compatibility with some devices. So, here are some of the other formats or alternatives to the M4A file format:
One major reason why you might need to convert your M4A file is because it is a file extension, which means that only specific applications can open it. MP3 is supported by almost any device. You may also want to convert it to AAC because it produces better sound quality, even at low bitrates. |
