[QUOTE="Zoatebix, post: 2070327, member: 11401"] So the idea of an open-source audio format really jived (jibed?) with me, but I'm still struggling with finding good software support. I downloaded and installed JetAudio because of the glowing review on CNET's download.com, but the library management, playlist management, and even something as simple as random playback leave a lot to be desired. I have pretty diverse tastes in end-user software and, form what I can tell, I'm wiling to pyscho-analyze software more than most other people, but having to hit "next track" two or three times to get JetAudio's random play to go to a different track was really the last straw. I really like iTunes and I love MusicMatch's library and super-tagging (or whatever it's called) and mass-file-renmaing function, but I got fed up paying MusicMatch 20 bucks once a year or so when their automatic software update found the brand-spankin-new version. Unfortunately, it seems that neither has official support for the ogg (or for the FLAC, which also intrigues me). I did stumble upon this, though: [url]http://members.optusnet.com.au/lbramsay/misc/itunes-ogg.html[/url] So anyways, should I just find a good OGG encoder plugin for WinAmp? Are there any good all-in-one audio solutions out there that I missed? Should I just install a bunch of specialized utilities? Help me, EN Wolrd Kenobi, you're my only hope! -George [/QUOTE]
