What is ALAC?

Apple Lossless Audio Codec (.alac). ALAC is Apple's lossless codec: like FLAC it decodes to exactly the original audio, at roughly half the size of WAV. Apple released it as open source in 2011; iTunes, Apple Music and iPhones play it natively.

Common use: Lossless music on Apple devices

What is OGG?
