Band-in-a-Box stores musical arrangements in MGU files, but many players and audio-editing tools need a rendered audio file instead. Converting one to OGG produces a compact audio version for playback or sharing, rather than an editable song arrangement.
What the MGU format is
MGU is a native Band-in-a-Box song format from PG Music. It stores a song’s chord progression and melody, along with arrangement information such as the selected accompaniment style; Band-in-a-Box generates the backing parts during playback. You will encounter MGU files in song projects made or edited with Band-in-a-Box.
What the OGG format is
OGG is a container commonly used for Vorbis-compressed audio. Ogg Vorbis is lossy, but it can produce smaller files than uncompressed WAV, making it useful for sharing and playback in compatible music software and players.
How to convert MGU to OGG
Online on 101convert.com
- Upload the MGU file on the 101convert.com page. The page shows the per-file size limit.
- Choose OGG as the output format and start the conversion. Several files can be converted in one batch.
- Download the converted OGG file or files when the conversion is complete. The conversion runs on the site’s server with MuseScore.
Offline with desktop software
Band-in-a-Box for Windows or macOS can render the arrangement to WAV; FFmpeg, a free command-line tool available for both systems, can encode that audio as OGG.
- Open the MGU file in Band-in-a-Box. Use File → Save Special → Save Song as WAV file (menu wording can vary by version) to render it as
song.wav. - In a terminal or command prompt in the folder containing the WAV, run
ffmpeg -i "song.wav" -c:a libvorbis -q:a 5 "song.ogg". The quality value5is a practical starting point; increase it for higher quality and a larger file.
Quality and conversion limits
The conversion renders the arrangement as audio; the OGG file does not retain editable chords, melody notation, or Band-in-a-Box style settings. The rendered backing may depend on the style and sound resources available in Band-in-a-Box. Vorbis encoding is lossy, so keep the original MGU or WAV if you may need to edit the arrangement or create another export later.
