About formats

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.
Initial release: 2007
PRC is an audio file format associated with Psion handheld organizers, particularly the Series 3 and Series 5 lines from the 1990s. These pocket computers included built-in microphones and basic voice recording capabilities, storing captured audio in the PRC container. The encoding is typically ADPCM-based (Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation), balancing file size against audio intelligibility given the severe storage constraints of early PDAs — the original Psion Series 3 had just 256 KB of RAM doubling as storage. PRC audio is generally mono at low sample rates (often 8 kHz), optimized for speech rather than music. One advantage was tight integration with the EPOC operating system (later evolving into Symbian), letting users embed voice notes directly in agenda entries and database records. The compact file sizes — a minute of speech consumed only a few kilobytes — made it feasible to store dozens of memos on devices with minimal memory. While PRC audio is a legacy format today, conversion tools exist for extracting recordings from archived Psion devices, which remain collectible among retro computing enthusiasts.
