Converting MP3 to OGG in CentOS


You can also try using sox:

sox input.mp3 output.ogg

That should do the trick.

P.S: sox is available through yum on CentOS.


I typically use FFmpeg for this:

ffmpeg -i source.mp3 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 8 output.ogg

Note though that you should really convert from the lossless source, not an MP3. You're losing another level of quality by using a lossy codec on a file that was already compressed with a lossy codec.

Also, given the time of the question, I assume you wanted to use Vorbis for the codec. For anyone finding this answer now, consider Opus. It will fit in your Ogg container, but has much higher quality for a given bitrate.


There is a fine audio/video conversion utility avconv. So are able to do:

 avconv -i file.mp3 file.ogg

Unlike sox it is able to convert also aac, and webm formats.
