Convert FLAC to OGG

FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is a widely utilized audio format offering lossless compression, meaning it retains the original audio quality while reducing file size. Originating in 2001, FLAC has become a standard for high-fidelity audio archiving and distribution, favored for its open-source nature, ensuring broad compatibility and extensive support in various software and devices. It is extensively used by audiophiles, musicians, and professionals seeking optimal audio quality without the large file sizes associated with uncompressed formats like WAV.

The OGG file extension, specifically associated with Ogg Vorbis Audio, represents a free, open-source container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. Its primary use is to store compressed audio files, ensuring efficient streaming and manipulation. Introduced in the late 1990s, Ogg Vorbis was designed to offer an alternative to proprietary audio formats like MP3, delivering high-quality sound without patent restrictions. Its widespread adoption across various platforms and devices highlights its significance in the digital audio landscape.
