OGG opus format not supported for import

[boomt]

Hi,

I notice that OGG files don't play in the browser nor can they be imported onto the arranger. It would be useful if this requirement was supported as I have a few random samples as OGG.

I notice that you can export a project as OGG so I was surprised that I can't import.

Hmm I just tested it with a random ogg file that I downloaded off internet and it can import them. I am now suspecting the ogg files I'm importing have something a little wrong about them instead.

Yeah the OGG files I'm importing have a format of "Opus" which I suspect is not supported by Waveform.

Can they be converted? Maybe load in Audacity (??) and save in different format? No idea about quality change/loss though.

I converted them to OGG encoding and it is now importable in Waveform.

I assumed all OGGs would have the same format and not be like a container format.

Ogg is the container format typically associated with the Vorbis encoding:

As explained on that page, the current recommendation is that the .ogg file extension only be used for files containing Vorbis data, but it was previously used a bit more generically.


Opus is a newer format intended to replace Vorbis and also uses an Ogg container but such files should have a .opus extension rather than .ogg:
