A .ogg file is an
Ogg Vorbis soundfile, which is a compressed audio format
analogous to MP3 (but free). Under Linux et al., it is created by the
utility oggenc, for example, and it can be played by
ogg123, sndplay, and other programs under Linux.
Under Windows,
.ogg files are supported in
WinAmp 2 and
WinAmp 3,
for example.
