If you are like I am and are lacking in the "technical skills" department, but at the same time, miss using WinMX, there is a quick, easy and free solution it is called MXPIE. There is no spyware or anything else bundled with it. For those a little more savvy and courageous, there is even a manual option.

So come on back to WinMX, and download to your hearts content. Thanks to these updates, not even the power of the RIAA can stop a network.

IF you have downloaded WinMX and still cannot connect, you can even get personalized realtime help. Just go to this link WinMX Channels Copy the Room name appropriate for your Language and paste it into your WinMX chat screen, then press the Join Button. This works on version 3.53 and up even if you are not connected. It allows you to join into chatrooms set up for you to get immediate help.

Everything you need at the MXPIE Website Free and Spyware free.

I have also found a site for Computer problem that is nice, prompt and VERY helpful. If there is a problem you need an answer to, they can help.

Realtime help available for WinMX 3.53 users having trouble getting connected. Go to WinMX Channels.

IIRC Lopster has supported ogg for years. Yeah, it only does opennap, but it also supports FLAC & WavPack. Aside from that it will run on mac, linux & windows. And to add to the fun, it is slow as hell and you can multisource across every network your connected to. I haven't touched winmx for years, it's too slow and overall a poor piece of software in my opinion.

EDIT: A bit off the point, but some people seem to think to program itself has something to do with the amount oggs you might find. That is completely untrue of course. All depends on what that program is connected to. If it uses it's own personal network only then does the program have relation to the content. In the past you could share oggs with winmx anyway, just not as an audio type.
