Settings

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.

spx

Speex is an open-source audio codec purpose-built for speech compression, developed by Jean-Marc Valin under the Xiph.Org Foundation. First released in October 2002, it targets voice-over-IP, conferencing, and any scenario where spoken word needs to travel efficiently over a network. SPX files wrap Speex-encoded audio inside an Ogg container, pairing the codec's speech optimization with Ogg's streaming capabilities. Three sampling rates are supported — narrowband at 8 kHz, wideband at 16 kHz, and ultra-wideband at 32 kHz — along with variable bitrate encoding that adapts in real time to speech complexity. A standout advantage is its patent-free, BSD-licensed nature, which allowed developers to embed it freely in both commercial and open-source products. Speex also bundles acoustic echo cancellation, noise suppression, and automatic gain control, features that rival codecs typically delegate to external libraries. Although its creators officially recommend Opus as a successor since 2012, Speex remains deployed in legacy VoIP systems, archived recordings, and embedded devices where its lightweight decoder footprint is still valued.

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.

Same Container, Better Codec

Both SPX and OGA use the Ogg container — but switching to Vorbis encoding gives you broader player support and music handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert SPX to OGA?

OGA uses the same Ogg container but with Vorbis encoding — supporting broader content types beyond Speex speech-only compression.

How is OGA different from OGG?

OGA is the official audio-only extension for Ogg files. Functionally, OGA and OGG with Vorbis encoding are equivalent.

What supports OGA playback?

VLC, Firefox, Chrome, foobar2000, and most Linux media players handle OGA without extra plugins.

Is OGA open source?

Yes — the entire Ogg ecosystem is open-source and patent-free, just like the Speex codec in your source files.

Can I convert multiple files?

Upload several SPX recordings and convert them all to OGA in a single batch operation.
