A command-line Ogg Vorbis encoder that can be used with most CD rippers.

• OggDec

Command-line decoder.

• OggDropXPd

A (very cute-looking) drag'n'drop encoder/decoder with support for automatic tagging, renaming and playlist creation on encoding.

• Encoding DLLs

DLLs that can be used for encoding within CDex or WinLame.

• VorbisGain

The Replaygain utility for Ogg Vorbis.

In addition, highly SSE-optimized utilities and libraries are available at this page (in Japanese).

• Various FLAC-related utilities: FLAC's SourceForge Download page

Transcoders

Note: Although these tools may convert from one encoding to another, please remember that transcoding from a lossy encoding to another lossy encoding is frowned upon as it will likely result in a degraded quality.
