    I came across this app which claims to support wma, ogg and MMF codecs and I immediately noticed that it looks very much like Oggplay. I checked it out and its codec menu (of course identical) says Supplier: OggPlay for the Ogg decoder.

    This is a commercial, closed-source app...

    So they are violating the OggPlay licence or am I mistaken?

      Yeah, I've seen this but I don't think it's been updated lately and it doesn't work on most (if not all) of the latest phones. OggPlay will now play WMAs on Nokia S60V3 phones if they have a WMA codec installed (the N93, for example).

      I suspect that the WMA codec will soon become a standard feature on new phones from Nokia, so WMAPlay isn't really relevant anymore.
