Why Convert WAV to OGG?
Game developers are the biggest users of OGG. Unity, Godot, Unreal, GameMaker, RPG Maker and many other engines support Vorbis natively, and it's a common format for music and sound effects because it's compact, high quality, seamless for looping and free of licensing concerns.
OGG Vorbis is also accepted by Wikimedia Commons, used by many Linux and open-source applications, and supported in Chrome, Firefox and Edge for web audio. If you want small, good-sounding files in an open format, it's a strong choice.
