Just a quick question, what program do you use to listen to ripped ogg music on your computer?
Thanks,
Lon

Foobar 2000 again. Also great for tagging and converting files (even ripped cd images with cuesheet) and many more

I use Winamp. I find the media library quite handy.
In Windows, foobar or dbpoweramp. In Linux, mostly rhythmbox.

Thank-you for your help. I downloaded winamp and now I have a question. Does it support ogg without any plugins? I thought it did, but I could not get it to play back any ogg files. I am not trying to rip anything, just listen. What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Lon

Use Foobar2000

Normally Winamp should already support OGG Vorbis.
But if you have trouble try downloading the "Free and Full" Vrsion here:
winamp
Winamp Lite doesn't play Ogg Vorbis. If you have installed Winamp Lite you'll need this plug-in:
http://nunzioweb.com/sawgstuff/wa/in_vorbis.zip . Unzip it into you Winamp\Plugins directory.

Winamp is totally modularised, so you need a plugin for everything (even for wave files). By default, the full Winamp 5 installation comes with the ogg vorbis plugin.

beep media player (has one of the worst looking vorbis plugins

) or foobar2000
wxMusik is another option. It is cross platform (Win and Linux), and plays Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, APE, and MPC.

I also use it to convert ripped CD images with cuesheet (APE). Mostly to Vorbis 1.1 (from q4 to q6). Extremely convenient.

What's the point of using Foobar on PPC?
Anyways, another vote for Foobar.

I like its features, especially spectrum visualization, diskwriter and oggpreview.

Winamp
Why are people still stuck on winamp 2.xx?
There gossips about winamp5 being slower and blabla... are really just gossips..
if you use classical skin it will be just as light as 2.91...
I use Winamp since I have a music collection... need a Library... dont understand how people nowadays can live without a Music Library.
btw Winamp supports ogg and most other audioformats... if not there is a plugin wich can easily be found (FLAC)

Winamp. I've used it for about 5 years or so. Quite hard to find a good alternative for me now. Much too addicted.

Guys, for God's sake. This is not a poll. Once one application is mentioned it is pointless to mention it again and again. Think! I am drawn back to this subject all the time and all I see is foobar foobar.

God please no, not another music player poll.
I use Winamp 5.nn, mainly so I can differentiate my music player from my text editor.

Finally somebody mentioned JetAudio... I just recently started using it and got to like it once I found my way past user interface elements that feel Korean.
Cowon claims that it creates double precision 32-bit playback for MP3 and Ogg (with Plus packages) though I detect no improvement; do others think that effective?
For PocketPC, Green Software GSPlayer rules!

12 Megabytes for a media player - Ill give it a miss. Nice looking portables though

iirc 16 bits can be amplified really really loud before you could hear the 'noise floor' caused by the limited bits - a bit like how close you need to look at your monitor before you see the pixels... amplify 24 bits enough to hear the digital quantisation noise floor and a normal sound would instantly deafen you, at 32 bits you probably have enough dynamic range available to open a wormhole to another dimension...
Maybe not that much but it really should be overkill.
Its handy to have processing done at 32 bits because of computer memory architecture and to avoid rounding errors but iirc its not very sensible for output.

Foobar2000
Foobar2000 is excellent as an audio only player, it looks plain simple, if you like fancy skin, go for Winamp 5!
I used Winamp previously but switched to foobar2000 completely since version 0.8.....
