OGG (Ogg Vorbis) is the open-source lossy audio format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation as a patent-free alternative to MP3 and AAC. Ogg Vorbis provides excellent audio quality at low bitrates and is natively supported on Android, Linux, Firefox, Chrome, and most open-source software. Converting 3GA recordings from old Samsung and Nokia phones to OGG is ideal for users who prefer open standards and want their audio to work seamlessly in the open-source ecosystem.
The conversion transcodes the AMR audio from the 3GA container into Vorbis-encoded audio inside the Ogg container. Vorbis uses a more sophisticated psychoacoustic model than MP3, achieving better quality at the same bitrate — particularly at lower bitrates below 128 kbps where the difference is most audible. For voice recordings from 3G-era phones, OGG Vorbis at 96-128 kbps provides transparent quality with smaller file sizes than equivalent MP3.
Android uses Ogg Vorbis as its preferred audio format in many system contexts. Android notification sounds, alarm tones, and system UI audio are typically stored as OGG files. If you want to use converted phone recordings as Android ringtones, notifications, or alarm sounds, OGG is the most natively integrated format on Android devices.
OGG is also the standard audio format for open-source game engines like Godot, web applications built with Web Audio API in Firefox, and Linux-based media systems. The Ogg container and Vorbis codec are completely patent-free and royalty-free, making them the ethical choice for projects that avoid proprietary codecs. Xiph.Org's reference encoder and decoder are BSD-licensed, ensuring the format remains free for any use case.
FFmpeg decodes the AMR audio from the 3GA container and re-encodes it using the libvorbis encoder at quality level 5 (approximately 160 kbps VBR) inside the Ogg container. Vorbis uses variable bitrate (VBR) encoding by default, allocating more bits to complex passages and fewer to simple sections. The -q quality scale ranges from -1 (lowest, ~45 kbps) to 10 (highest, ~500 kbps). For AMR voice source material, quality level 3 (approximately 112 kbps) is more than sufficient for transparent reproduction.
Vorbis provides excellent quality for voice content, especially at lower bitrates where it outperforms MP3. At quality level 5 (~160 kbps), the encoding is completely transparent for AMR source material from 3G-era phones. At quality level 2 (~96 kbps), Vorbis still sounds transparent for narrowband speech, making OGG the most space-efficient lossy option for old phone recordings. The VBR encoding adapts to the content, using fewer bits during silence and more during speech.
