The Ogg container format has been created as an alternative to non-free, patented and closed digital media files. The Ogg format can be used in place of music file formats such as MP3, AAC, etc. The Ogg specification is actually an encapsulation format, as described in RFC 3533. Ogg can hold data from several different codecs.

The most popular Ogg codec is Vorbis, an MP3 alternative (lossy compression). Other codecs include FLAC, a lossless audio codec; Speex, a lossy audio codec tailored to compressing the human voice; and Theora, a video codec.
