The help text under:
ACP -> MEDIA -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> AUDIO CONVERSION -> CONVERSION FORMAT

Reads:
Quote: Select the audio format(s) you would like to convert uploaded audio to. MP3 + OGG will have compatability with some older mobile devices, but will use more disk space, while MP3 Only (recommended) will use less disk space.
Default: MP3

From there its your call.

Yeah you can do this:

- Make sure the ACP -> Media -> Audio Support -> Global Config -> Conversion Format is set to "MP3" only (no OGG).

- as root, go into your jamroom/data/media directory and run this command:

find . -name \*.ogg -type f | xargs /bin/rm -f

And that will remove ALL .ogg files from all your profiles.

Hope this helps!
