## Overview

This OGG viewer plays Vorbis audio in the open OGG container directly in your browser. OGG is the free, open-source alternative to MP3, used widely in games, open-source software and podcasting. Pick a sample track or choose your own .ogg / .oga file to play it instantly with no upload.

## When to use

- You have an .ogg clip from a game or open-source project and want to preview it.
- You need a privacy-friendly playback check without installing codecs.
- You want to verify that a Vorbis file plays cleanly in a browser.

## How it works

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between .ogg and .oga?

Both use the OGG container. .oga specifically signals an audio-only stream (usually Vorbis), while .ogg can also carry video. This viewer accepts both and plays the audio track.

### Are my OGG files uploaded?

No. Files opened from your device stay on your device and are decoded locally. Only the public sample tracks are requested from the server.

### Is OGG better than MP3?

Ogg Vorbis generally matches or beats MP3 quality at the same bitrate, and it is free of the patents that once covered MP3. Quality is similar at typical listening bitrates.
