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. |

Description | 🔵 A format of audio stream coding deployed by Microsoft in 1999, it has been serving as a foundation for Windows Media. Its purpose is to store and distribute audio content. Firstly, it was considered a real alternative for MP3, but then, when ACC appeared, WMA partially lost its significance. It differs fundamentally from MP3 by one realization and can be installed on an equal basis with other system codecs of Windows 9x. A good compression quality characterizes WMA, and therefore it has been adapted later for many audio players, mobile devices, and Playstations. However, due to excessive closure, files in this format cannot be played back on other platforms with satisfactory quality. The new version allows for multi-channel coding of large audio files and coding of voice data. In addition to that, the delay in coding has been significantly diminished thanks to the technology of reduced time dilation. |
Technical details | 🔵 The name of WMA is being used simultaneously for the file format and the codec. There are some types of the format:
According to Microsoft programmers, an audio file of 64 Kbit/s bitrate has a similar sound clarity as the tracks from the original CD. However, some of advanced users do not share such views. Most often, WMA files are generated in Advanced Systems Format which contains both audio and video content. One of the failures is the impossibility to support bitrate of more than 160Kbit/s. |
