FLAC to OGG: a smaller, open-format copy

Why the pairing makes sense

FLAC and Ogg Vorbis come from the same open-source family. One is lossless and large, the other lossy and compact. Many people keep FLAC as the archive and use OGG for portable or in-game copies.

The size saving

A 40-minute album is roughly 230 MB as FLAC and around 50 MB as typical-quality OGG. That is about a quarter of the space for a loss you are unlikely to hear on earbuds.

Tags between the formats

FLAC and Ogg Vorbis both use Vorbis-style comments, so titles, artists and albums normally transfer cleanly. Cover art is less predictable, so check a file before you convert a library.

OGG or MP3?

OGG is open and efficient, and many engines and Android players handle it well. MP3 plays on more devices, including many cars and Apple products. If you are not sure, pick MP3.

Keep the FLAC

Lossy conversion is a one-way trip. The FLAC remains your master for any new copies.

OGG Vorbis is much smaller than FLAC, is royalty-free, and works well in games, on Android and in many open-source players. It is a good fit for portable copies of a lossless library.

Roughly three quarters or more. A 40-minute album is around 230 MB as FLAC and roughly 50 MB as typical-quality OGG. The exact figure depends on the encoder setting.

Do my tags carry over?+

Is OGG better than MP3 here?+

They are close in quality. OGG is open and works well in games and on Android. MP3 plays on more devices, including many car stereos and Apple products. Use the FLAC to MP3 page if compatibility matters most.

Does Spotify use OGG?+
