How to open ogg files on iphone

Ogg is an open, patent-free, and efficient container format maintained by Xiph.Org Foundation. Ogg container format can contain several independent streams for audio, video, subtitles, and metadata.

Before 2007, the .ogg file extension was used for all media files whose content used the Ogg container format. Since 2007, the Xiph.Org Foundation recommends that .ogg only be used for Ogg Vorbis audio files. Vorbis is free lossy audio compression also developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. Free loosy video compression is also provided by Xiph.Org, called Theora.

Other file extensions recommened by Xiph.Org include .oga for audio only files with codecs other than Vorbis such as FLAC and Speex, .ogv for video files (e.g. Theora encoded), and .ogx for multiplexed Ogg format.

Ogg files are similar to .MP3 files, but have better quality than MP3 files of equal size. Since Ogg is free, many media players and some portable music players have implemented Ogg support.

Ogg was formerly recommended as the standard format of HTML5 to play Theora video and Vorbis audio because they are unpatented. But the recommendation was soon dropped. Now HTML5 specification is still being discussed.

"Ogg" derives from "ogging", a jargon in the game Netrek, having the mean of "To do anything forcefully, without consideration of the drain on future resources." "Vorbis" is named after Exquisitor Vorbis, a character in the book Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. Similarly, Theora is named after Theora Jones, a character of Max Headroom television program.

The most straightforward method is to install the Xiph QuickTime Components to make iTunes support OGG files. Please make sure you have installed QuickTime for Windows version 7 or later. Download the QuickTime Components here: https://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html

Follow its wizard to install the plug-in on your computer. Meanwhile, you need to close iTunes and QuickTime. After the installation process, run iTunes and import and play OGG files. 

By installing XiphQT, you’re able to play OGG files in iTunes directly, but the pity is that the QuickTime Components only supports the 32-bit version of Windows and even if your version meets the requirements, you might also meet issues since many people reflect that this method doesn't always work.

wanted to turn that file into an mp3 I

simply use Safari the Safari the Safari

Browser this will not work with any well

I've tried it with Chrome and it doesn't

work so I've just simply typed in online

audio converter and I've found the

easiest one is this one right here the

converter o.co

I'm going to click there and I'll leave

a link to that in the description of

this video you'll notice that I have a

previous download in the queue because

there's that little blue downward facing

arrow now this is really important I

have to clear any previous downloads by

clicking on it and selecting clear right

there before I do anything and then all

I do here is I choose the file that I

want to convert so when that comes up

it's going to ask me to browse and I can

have a look instead of my recent files

I'm going to go to browse because I know

that it's on my iPhone right here and

it's in my garage band and exports

exports folder rather so I'm going to

select that and then

it automatically says convert to mp3 you

can convert it to any one of these other

file types if you like by clicking where

it says mp3 and if I click the Settings

wheel right here I also have some extra

options where I can change with this

little slider right here the quality of

the mp3 that I'm going to export so if I

want to select say 192 kilobits per

second which is a format that I use

quite a lot I can select that there

I simply now just hit convert and then

it's going to convert that file for me

you'll see a little progress bar there

and then it should divert me to another

screen where I can download that file

okay so the conversion is complete so if

I hit download it will now should have a

pop-up that asked me to download now

this won't come up properly if you

haven't cleared that their previous

downloads so I'm going to hit download

if you hit view it'll just play it in

the browser it's you have to hit

download and then you'll see there's a

little progress bar up the top and it's

finished the download and then I tend to

click on that again and just go clear so

that I don't have any problems with

future conversions now to make sure that

that has been downloaded it should end

up in my files app and it should be in

my downloads folder right here let's

have a look it should be dark trap beat

there we go and let's have a look if I

click on that and select info there we

go it's telling me it's an mp3 file and

if I compare the size of that that's 990

kilobytes to the original file let's

have a look at the original export it

should be roughly the same because

they're both compressed file formats

there we go the original one was 1.1

megabytes so it's more or less a similar

size if my original file was a dot WAV

file it would be quite different and

I'll show you how to do that right now

so if you

I have this site that I download sounds

from called freesound.org I really love

it and it's a free site and it has

Creative Commons music and field

recordings I use a lot of these in my

compositions for example when I get like

lo-fi hip-hop and I'm looking for a

vinyl crackle you can search here on

freesound.org now you have to have an

account with these guys so you just log

in it's totally free but it's a really

good site they don't ask you better send

your spam or anything never received

spam from these guys so if I search for

vinyl I think that's how you spell it my

spelling is absolutely terrible

and hit Search it looks like here we go

so here's an AI F file let's see if I

can find some vinyl crackle here's one

here vinyl crackle if I click on that

and let me see what sort of file format

that is so that's already an mp3

I might refine my search just to WAV

files or the sake of this video so I can

do that over there and let's see here we

go is one that looks like it might be

some vinyl crackle so a quick listen

okay that sounds good

when you do the previews here they're

quite low quality but you'll see here

that this is a Creative Commons license

the person has released this under

Creative Commons which means we're free

to use that without any copyright issues

I'm going to select download and then I

can download this file directly to my

files app so this should end up in my

downloads folder you'll see there's a

progress bar right on the top right hand

corner showing that downloading at the

moment because it's a WAV file it shows

me that it's one point five megabytes

there so sometimes the wav files take

quite a bit longer than mp3s to download

and then as soon as that's complete

should be able to see that I can

actually probably see a progress in my

downloads folder there there it is there

so that's the progress of that download

I don't know how it's taking so long but

I might pause this video and join back

with you as soon as that's done okay so

that download is finished now and if I

have a look at that I might actually

rename that so it's a bit easy to see by

adding my finger down on it and

selecting rename I might just call that

vinyl so I can use that in my guards and

compositions and things like that

but if I want to convert that file to

mp3 I simply do the same thing I go to

Safari I go to convert EO I can upload

that web file when I choose files

and when I browse I'm just going to look

in my downloads folder or the vinyl

crackle there it is right there

now that's going to upload that web file

and as soon as that's uploaded that was

quick I can convert that one to mp3 now

let's do that conversion and then we'll

probably see a dramatic difference in

the file size between that original web

file and the mp3 so you'll notice that I

before I can download this I need to

clear that first download up there so if

I go here and go clear now I can happily

download this vinyl crackle mp3 get

download and that downloaded really

quick let's go have a look at the

difference in the file size so the

original one right there was one point

six megabytes and now my mp3 version

right there is only a hundred and 99

kilobytes much smaller because it's a

compressed format which is mp3 so that

is an easier way than my previous video

to convert any audio file on your iPhone

to an mp3

thanks for watching and I'll see you in
