- Converting to OGG for Wikiversity
- One of the most important uses for Audacity at Wikiversity is to convert WAV and AIFF files to OGG files.
- Wikiversity only uploads OGG files. Attempts to upload other file formats gets a very vague error message so you must use a program like Audacity to do the conversion.
- To do this, start a new page in Audacity. Then IMPORT your WAV or AIFF file. Trim and export to OGG. Very easy!
