Visionaire supports the '''Ogg Vorbis''' and '''Opus''' audio formats. Both are open file formats and (unlike MP3) unencumbered by patents. Their lossy compression algorithms lead to good quality sound files with pretty small file sizes.
  
The reason we recommend both .ogg (vorbis) & opus formats for audio is because they are both open source formats, both have good sound quality & the compressed file sizes are pretty small. Other formats may require you to purchase various licenses to use them commercially or with intent to make money etc. See [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg]here[/url] for more information about .ogg (vorbis) & [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format)]here[/url] for more information about opus.

Visionaire supports the Ogg Vorbis and Opus audio formats. Both are open file formats and (unlike MP3) unencumbered by patents. Their lossy compression algorithms lead to good quality sound files with pretty small file sizes.


Tools

We recommend using Audacity for audio conversion as it is a free, open-source audio editing suite and conversion tool that supports many audio formats. It also supports tag embedding and imports/exports fairly quickly.

To save your sound in one of the aforementioned formats, use "File > Export Audio..." and choose your preferred audio format and quality.
