Convert OGA to FLAC online, for free.
Ogg Vorbis Audio (OGA) is a multimedia container and compression file format for audio files. The name represents the basic functionality of OGA, as “Ogg” is the name of the container while “Vorbis” is the name of the compression mechanism. OGA is free, open-source, and unpatented.
VLC media player is the best choice for opening OGA files. Other programs that can open OGA files include Winamp and Xine.
OGA can open in Windows Media Player and DirectShow-based players, but only with the use of a DirectShow filter. However, if the player is not based on DirectShow, then the filter is not necessary.

Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is a file format that shrinks an audio file’s size, which, as the word “lossless” in the name implies, results in no loss in audio quality or original data. FLAC accomplishes this by using an algorithm that compresses the file to approximately 50 to 70 percent of its original size.
The default program for opening a FLAC file is VLC media player. Other details about FLAC include that it is unpatented, permits music reproduction, is compatible with Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI), and is not subject to digital rights management (DRM).
Additionally, codecs that can implement FLAC include FFmpeg, Flake and FLACCL for encoding, and Audiocogs for decoding. Lastly, as the word “free” in the name suggests, FLAC is open-source software.
