anyone know how to do this?
I use nero express but it does not seem to recognize the ogg format.

does anyone know a quick easy way to do this?

I have a ton of stuff in ogg that I just downloaded from a website

another alternative would be if you have any of the brian jonestown massacre cd's you can burn me a copy of zip me some mp3's


just got into this band after watch the movie Dig on the sundance channel

BJM ZIP Files

EDIT: Sorry, Al...
Mac has WhambPlayer which plays OGG, so I'm guessing you are already at the url posted above and found the files in OGG....

Pardon my ignorance for I don't know anything about OGG files, except that it generates the highest sound quality and they're smaller than MP3s - or is it?? Speaking to a handful of my friends in the local area -- most of whom are tech savvy -- OGG files seems to be all the rage. They speak so highly of it that they make MP3, WAV, and WMA files sound like garbage.

Don't convert! Get a program that can play both. Winamp can play oggs.

Ogg Vorbis is a better compression method with smaller files, and is free and open!

Also, if you convert from one lossy format to another, you lose information. For instance:
[code]Say MP3's cut out this |-xx-x-x-------xx-x-xx|
and OGG's cut out this |xxxx------------xxxxx|
Then you're left with |xxxxxxx-------xxxxxxx|

Where x's are stuff they cut out for smaller file sizes.[/code]That's just a strange, crude example, but it makes the point.

the ideas is to burn these to cd's and throw them in the truck to give them a listen.
sound quality lost would only be second to the rattle of the crap in the bed of the pickup and what is sitting in the passenger side of the truck.

Al, I believe that Nero has an OGG plug in that allows you to play/convert/burn the files.

Have you checked the Nero site to see the available plugins?

Yup....here it is

Nero Audio Plugins

This will add about 10 of the most common audio formats into Nero for you. Great program that I use. It is freeware and they ask for a donation if you decide you like it and use it.

Good luck
