Convertisseur Gratuit en Ligne APE vers OGG

This is a proprietary format (with a paid license) developed by Matthew T. Ashland. Sound is stored without any loss, but the format isn’t too common because of license restrictions and because the official codecs works only on the Windows platform.

This format is free, which apparently is one of the reasons for its popularity. The used codecs supports variable bit rates (as a default), and .ogg files usually play back easily on all platforms. All things being equal, the sound quality exceeds that of mp3 somewhat.
