OGG
OGG files store music, artist info and metadata. Audio stored in OGG usually has better sound quality than MP3. You can easily play your OGG file on most Windows and Android devices, but not as easily on MacOS or iOS. Use Microsoft Groove Music to open OGG files in Windows devices. To play your OGG file on Apple devices, use VLC Media Player or convert it to MP3 or AAC.
Developed by Xiph.org, the OGG container stores audio in the free and open-source Vorbis compression. OGG files created before 2007 may contain video, as it was once used as a multimedia container format.
WAV
WAV files store audio content "without" any compression. This makes them much larger than other file types. Although WAV files can take lots of space to store, they also store audio in high quality. This makes them useful for heavy-use audio storage like professional music recording. WAV files are widely used and can be opened on Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player, VLC, and many more. (The only exception is Linux).
WAV files may also appear as ‘WAVE’ in your folder. They are the same file type, just spelt differently. Developed jointly by Microsoft and IBM, the WAV format stores audio data, track numbers, sample rate and bit rate. Content is stored in segments of uncompressed "chunks".
