What changes when you convert AAX to Ogg Vorbis
- The audio is decoded and re-encoded as Ogg Vorbis at the default settings, so the result is close to the AAX but not bit-identical.
- AAX and Ogg Vorbis are both lossy formats, so this conversion adds a second round of lossy compression; keep the original AAX if you may need the best quality later.
- AAX files can carry DRM copy protection; protected files are detected and refused, because copy protection is never removed.
