The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

mp2

MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II), also known by its original project name MUSICAM, is a perceptual audio codec standardized as part of ISO/IEC 11172-3 in 1993. While its successor MP3 captured the consumer spotlight, MP2 carved out a durable niche in professional broadcasting that it holds to this day. The codec splits audio into 32 sub-bands via a polyphase filter bank, applies a psychoacoustic model to determine masking thresholds, then quantizes and Huffman-codes each sub-band accordingly. Typical broadcast deployments use 192-384 kbps for stereo, yielding transparent quality with lower encoder complexity and better error resilience than Layer III. These properties explain why DVB television, DAB digital radio, and the HDV camcorder standard all mandate or prefer MP2. Encoder latency is shorter too, an important trait for live broadcasting where lip-sync matters. Three advantages keep MP2 relevant decades after standardization: graceful degradation under transmission errors vital for over-the-air signals, minimal encoding delay that suits real-time broadcast chains, and entrenched regulatory acceptance across European and Asian broadcast frameworks.

oga

OGA is the audio-only file extension within the Ogg container framework maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. While .ogg traditionally served as a catch-all extension for any Ogg-encapsulated stream, the introduction of .oga in 2007 brought clarity by explicitly signaling that a file contains only audio data. Under the hood, OGA files can carry audio encoded with Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, or Opus — the container is codec-agnostic, serving as a transport wrapper with support for chained logical bitstreams and granule-based seeking. One benefit of OGA is interoperability: applications that encounter the .oga extension can optimize for audio-only playback without probing for video tracks, resulting in faster load times and lower memory usage. Because the Ogg container and its associated codecs are entirely open-source and royalty-free, OGA avoids the patent licensing complexities that affect proprietary formats. The format supports Vorbis comment metadata for tagging artist, album, and track information in a standardized way. OGA plays natively in Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, VLC, and most Linux desktop environments, making it a practical choice for web audio distribution and archival workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MP2 to OGA?

MP2 is a broadcast-era audio codec still used in DAB/DVB radio but rarely by consumer devices. OGA may be required by specific hardware, software, or legacy systems that do not accept MP2 directly.

What programs can open OGA?

You can play OGA using VLC, Audacity, foobar2000, and most Ogg-compatible audio players.

What happens to audio quality during conversion?

The converter decodes your MP2 and re-encodes it as OGA. Output quality depends on the target format and settings you choose.

Is batch conversion supported?

Absolutely. Drop multiple MP2 files into the converter and they will all be processed to OGA together in one operation.

Is my audio data kept private?

Uploaded MP2 files are deleted immediately after conversion. The resulting OGA outputs are removed from our servers within 24 hours.
