Why convert M4A to OGG?
M4A is the audio-only counterpart of MP4, typically containing AAC-encoded audio. It's the default audio format for Apple's ecosystem — iTunes, Apple Music, and iPhones all use M4A by default. OGG (Vorbis) is an open-source lossy audio format that outperforms MP3 at similar bitrates. It's a favorite for open-source projects, gaming, and Wikipedia audio thanks to being completely royalty-free. Converting from M4A to OGG is useful when you need open-source software and games or want to take advantage of open-source and royalty-free.
