Ogg Vorbis

Currently, all recommended Ogg Vorbis utilities are available at the Rarewares Ogg Vorbis page. The following tools are important:

  • OggEnc2: A command-line Ogg Vorbis encoder that can be used with most CD rippers.
  • OggDec: Command-line decoder.
  • OggDropXPd: An easy to use, drag'n'drop encoder/decoder with support for automatic tagging, renaming and playlist creation on encoding.
  • Encoding DLLs: For encoding within CDex or WinLame.
  • VorbisGain: The Replaygain utility for Ogg Vorbis.

In addition, the Lancer suite — a highly SSE-optimized suite of utilities and libraries — are available at this page (in Japanese). See this section for information about the different builds.

Musepack (MPC)


FLAC


Transcoders

Note: Although these tools may convert from one encoding to another, please remember that transcoding to any lossy encoding will result in a degraded quality.
