For .ogg is not a patented format, more and more free and commercial media players begin to support this format, and even some portable media players can play .ogg media files. .mp3 is a good encoding format, but since it was patented, it can bring up some patent-based lawsuits. Besides, more and more game engines begin to support .ogg, and games like Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Serious Sam have already employed .ogg.

Mini-stream Ripper renders this conversion with breeze, and the function of batch conversion can convert all the .wma files in a whole directory into .ogg at one time.
