OGG and FLAC files

Hi, does anyone know how to play this files in media player, just downloaded the codecs and no joy. Cheers, Sam.

 

Try Foobar 2000 You can always convert them to WMA format but I wouldn't do that with OGG files if they are VBR (variable bit rate). FLAC is OK as it's a complete copy with no compression. You don't want to convert a file that has already been compressed. Foobar works great if you don't mind having two players around.

 

Cheers, windows software is real pain in the bum, you want to us it but they make it sao difficult for you to use other companies products.

Know any good conversion software, ie WMA to MP3 etc?
What is the best format to hold you music in?
Can OGG files be burned to CD?

 

How would I know if my OGG's were VBR?

 

VLC > the rest

Plays everything. Small. It is the biz.

 

a good converter. dBpowerAMP. This will tell you what VBR you have and a lot more info. It will also convert almost any format and easy to use.

EDIT: Be careful when you install it so that all the files on your rig are not 'taken over' by it unless you want it to.
