WebM Audio
Open, royalty-free sound for the web.
Where it came from
WebM was launched by Google in 2010 as a royalty-free alternative to patent-encumbered web formats, built on Matroska. Its audio track carries Vorbis or Opus — both open codecs.
It was Google's answer to "the web should not pay licensing fees for video and audio." YouTube's HTML5 player leans on it heavily.
How it works
A WebM file is a Matroska-flavored container; the audio element can be Vorbis (older) or Opus (modern, better). It streams well and needs no plugins.
UWC converts WebM audio ↔ WAV/MP3 and more in the browser studio, using the browser's native decoders.
