I hear it's a pretty good audio player, but trying to turn it into a media centre for video and everything is a bit iffy. I just keep 2.9 around for Ogg Vorbis, which is the only thing that iTunes doesn't support that I listen to.

I only have a few Kraftwerk songs in Ogg, and I was able to find a Shareware program that could convert them to mp3, which made it all OK. The main reason I don't use iTunes for everything is, just in case I ever really want to listen to Merzbow, I don't want it to add to my iPod.

Well, you could turn the iPod to manual management, and then it wouldn't be an issue.

But where's that converter at? It'd be nice to minimize my program base a bit.

[snowspinner.livejournal.com]

It only allows you ten conversions of a type - I forget where it was. I just googled Ogg Mp3 converter or somesuch.

Okay, I'll look later. Thanks!

Winamp5 is teh shit man...

It does video and audio very well, and I use it almost unilaterally as a video viewer. Only a few proprietary formats can it not handle; and whatsmore, it has streaming Monty Python built right in! In Media Library, under Internet TV, there are about seven channels of a group called Salt Water Chimp. They show streaming (and 24/7) Monty Python's Flying Circus, Futurama, Invader Zim, Simpsons, and the Family Guy, plus other stuff at times.

I reiterate: Winamp5 kicks the llama's ass.

dbPowerAmp for windows does mass conversions, and will even delete orginal files after they're converted.

We acquired a bunch of AAC and OGGs from folks, and had to convert to MP3 for the MP3CD players that don't handle anything but MP3 (And WMA, but, BLEH!).

got the converter, did a find all *.ogg *.aac *.m4a *.wma and then right click and converter to MP3. bam, no more nasty files ;) only took 3hrs on a 1.4GHz Athlon.
