Hmmm. I seem to have a few "ogg" programs already installed with my default
woody install:
abcde (already discussed)
cdda2ogg
ogg123 (seems analogous to mp123 for playing music)
oggenc
ogg info
Woody seems to have given me oggenc 0.9, which I can certainly play with, or
apt upgrade to v1.0 when it hits sarge...
Are there reasonable ogg players for windows? As mentioned in a prev. post,
it would be ideal to make the music files accessible by my wife as well (at
least, when i show her that, she will be less annoyed with the incredible
amounts of time I have spent sitting in front of my computer just tweaking
things).
Thanks again for all the help!
