Ogg123

Ogg123 is a software application that enables you to adjust the quality of your audio tracks and force resampling, so that you can be sure that you can play all of them without issues.

The upper hand of a portable app

This product is portable, which means that you are not required to go through the installation process. This means that the Windows registry is not going to be updated with new entries without your approval.
Additionally, you should know it is possible to take Ogg123 anywhere with you, by simply moving the program files to a USB thumb drive or other similar device.

Simple environment

The interface you are met with presents a pretty minimal design, as it only comprises a few buttons and a pane in which to display all the uploaded items. Although no Help contents are provided, it becomes quite obvious that both power and novice users can easily find their way around this tool.

File types it can work with and starting the decoding process

This utility is capable of working with MP3, OGG and WAV file formats, while it can also detect these items in a selected directory and displays all items in the main window as a list with their full name.
You can start decoding your songs with just a click of the button, as long as you select a target and method (e.g. decompression to WAV, low quality 56, 64 or 80 kbps and good quality up to 400 kbps). Aside from that, it is possible to force resampling to 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz and downmix to mono.

Bottom line

To conclude, Ogg123 is a pretty efficient piece of software and a good choice for all types of users that encounter issues when trying to play certain video and audio content. The computer’s performance is not going to be affected in any way and we did not come by any errors or hangs in our tests. All jobs are completed in a timely fashion.
