Catch up? Ogg already caught up. Ages ago. Just give it a try on low bitrates;) Then give it a try on high bitrates. And then stick to it;) And now vorbis encoder supports speech (speex) and lossless (FLAC) encodings, so, YEY, your dream come true :)

jrepin: Sure, encoding from one (lossy)format to another is bad for quality... But the program supports wav -> whatever too... and have you really tested wma? it's pretty good on lower bitrates (up to 128kb/s), so it's great for putting lots of music on those small mp3 players with 64->256mb memory(although I guess some day ogg will catch up on lower bitrates too). If you need CD quality rips, go for a no-loss encoding format like ape...

What people should learn is that transcoding from one lossy format to another is the worst thing you can do. And this is even worse if the target format is as bad as WMA. Just leave your MP3 and Ogg Vorbis files as they are.
