Your answer is correct but I am going to needlessly nitpick: Actually, OGG is just the name of the container format. The audio stream inside a
.oggfile is usually using a format called Vorbis. However,.flacfiles also use an OGG container afaik, they just have different file format convention. Same goes for the newer Opus audio format which usually uses.opusdespite also being packaged in an OGG container. In any case, it wouldn't be entirely wrong to name a FLAC or Opus file.ogg.Side note: Opus is the future but sadly not yet widely compatible outside browsers. FLAC is great and more widely established but also has its support deficits. MP3 and WAV are still the most widely compatible formats sadly.
