Convert CAF to OGG

Understanding CAF and OGG file formats

The CAF (Core Audio Format) is a container for storing audio data, developed by Apple. It is designed to overcome limitations of older digital audio formats, supporting a wide range of audio formats, metadata, and more. CAF files are commonly used in professional audio environments due to their ability to handle large file sizes and high-quality audio.

The OGG format, on the other hand, is a free, open-source container format that is often used for streaming and compressing audio. It is most commonly associated with the Vorbis audio codec, which provides high-quality audio at lower bit rates, making it a popular choice for music streaming and online audio distribution.
