What the PTB format is
In music composition, PTB is a Power Tab file created by Power Tab Editor. It stores guitar and bass tablature with musical notation and playback information, rather than a recorded audio performance. PTB files are commonly encountered when sharing or editing guitar transcriptions.
What the OGG format is
OGG is an audio container commonly used with the lossy Vorbis codec. It is useful for sharing playable audio files and can produce smaller files than uncompressed WAV audio, but it does not preserve the editable notation in a PTB file.
How to convert PTB to OGG
Online on 101convert.com
Upload the PTB file on the 101convert.com converter page, choose OGG as the output, start the conversion, then download the result. The page supports batch conversion; its per-file size limit is shown there. Conversion runs on the server with MuseScore.
Offline with desktop software
On Windows, open the file in Power Tab Editor and use File → Export → MIDI. Open the exported MIDI file in MuseScore, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, then export it as WAV using File → Export. Convert the WAV to OGG with FFmpeg:
ffmpeg -i score.wav -c:a libvorbis -q:a 5 score.ogg
The -q:a 5 option sets Vorbis quality; change the value to adjust the size and quality trade-off.
Quality and limitations
A PTB file contains notation and playback data, not a finished recording. The OGG is therefore a synthesized rendering, and its sound depends on the instrument sounds used during rendering. OGG audio cannot retain the tablature or be edited as a score; keep the PTB file if you need the notation later.
