I've never been able to get Moonshell SCSD versions to work with OGG files.  Do they work for other people?  And if could you tell me what softwar eyou used to make your OGG file?  Maybe there is something incompatible about how the OGG filter I use for dbPowerAmp works.

(this applies to both the 0.6 and the 0.71 release)

What happens is when I go to play the ogg, the system just locks up.

I used Easy CDDA Extractor to convert 14,519 MP3 files to OGG Vorbis with the Quality 4 setting (~128kbps) and they all work fine with Moonshell.

I did this awhile back mainly to keep a nice quality on my music (which varied from 128kbps to 320kbps) and lessen the HD space it took. Originally, the MP3's took 67GB, and now it takes 48GB. The quality is still outstanding, and I cannot tell the difference whatsoever. Ogg is nice!

zektor, are you using it with the SC SD version or the CF version?  If it is SD, I'll go ahead and try using CDDA on my oggs.

And I use OGGs for the same reason as zektor, I've been ripping songs of my CDs since it was a pain in the ass to do, infact I wrote my own frontend for contorlling the dos programs that did it.  But... I wanted ot store a large number of my songs(and I have a whole lot now) on my laptop, which has a smaller HDD.. and so some time back I switched to ogg for higher quality to comporession ratio, and re-ripped everything.

so my whole system is in ogg.

FYI, for voice, like audio books, I use the Speex compressor, made by the same folks as OGG.

You can get info on ogg and its friends at the vorbis website.  You can find links to software that can playback and encode ogg there.

oh and PS, one of the other reasons some people adopt OGG is that it is fully open source, unlike MP3, which requires royalties to fraunhauffer in many cases.
