What is an OGG file?
OGG files usually contain Vorbis, a free, open audio codec. Spotify streamed in Vorbis for years, and many games and Linux apps use OGG for music and sound effects.
OGG is mainly used for games, open-source software and some streaming services. It plays on Android, Chrome, Firefox, VLC and game engines; iPhone and iTunes support is limited.
