- Description
- The MPA file format, standing for MPEG-2 Audio File, is designed to store audio data compressed using the MPEG-2 Audio coding standard. This format is a successor to the MPEG-1 standard, offering enhancements like improved audio quality and support for multiple audio channels, thus enabling surround sound experiences. MPA files are commonly used for both music and video soundtracks due to their efficient compression, which preserves sound quality while reducing file size significantly.
- OGA is an audio file format that can be created using various compression algorithms such as Ogg FLAC, Ghost, and Ogg PCM. Ogg Vorbis or Speex compression can also be used but it is not recommended by Xiph.Org.
