Gotta load of OGG files I want to put onto CD. Never used OGG files before, but I have heard that the quality is better than MP3. My system is unable to play these files, so, should I convert them to MP3 prior to burning to CD? Or is there a codec that I can download to enable my system to recognise them - and subsequently burn to cd as OGG's?

There are codecs available at The OGG Site. This is assuming you are using windows. It is also available for Linux/Unix. If you are a Mac user then the best option would be to convert to .wav before burning (converting to MP3 from OGG would result in a significant quality loss because you'd be compressing double). If you are using windows, then get Winamp as it is free and can play Ogg files. There is also an ogg plugin for WMP, so you might be able to use that to burn oggs directly, though I have never tried.

Reasonably current versions of WinAmp, FreeAmp, and XMMS all read .OGGs fine. WinAmp also comes with a free but limited version of Ozone! Anyway, I use CDex to encode to and decode from .OGG -- maybe somebody has an app that will burn them directly.

New to OGG. Help!
