Rach 2? Good choice there Frame. 8)

Quick question though, how do you convert music files to ogg format?

Open in Audacity & save as .ogg (Export to Ogg Vorbis file) is one (free) way to do it.
...and keep it under lightspeed!

If you have a Windows PC try "Super" it pretty much converts anything to anything - wonderful package - also free.

wohaa... Nice.. I have yet to find something this cannot convert.

ogg
flv
mp4

a bit sensitive about other sound recorders, but you quickly learn that..

I used to use "this months new 30 day trial program"

I'm amazed people keep writing these before checking the market for if there is allready such a converter available.. :-).

Thanks...

That's because they know there is always a market for people who:
a) don't think/can't be bothered to search for the free products
or
b) assume that anything free cannot be as good as the commercial product

A lot of software gets written because

1) it looks easy

2) Even if there are others available, none do it the way I want

In many cases the business model is either "build it and they will come", or "Im building it anyway, if someone wants to buy it then great".

And a great OXP it is too. Thanks again Frame.

For me it makes it more immersive again as in my head I like the idea of docking computers. Seems more sc-fi to me. But the process was starting to get a little dull and I began to quick dock to save time.

Now I have reverted back to normal docking and its great to watch the action continue around you as your own music plays. :D

One question, why is the download a RAR file, instead of the normal ZIP?

It's especially annoying because I don't have a RAR decoder!

SVRConcertoNo.ogg is Sergej Vassiljevitsj Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 (Op. 18) - Adagio Sostenuto
Who has the copyright in that recording?

I'm concerned about the legal aspects of including that in the download?

:mrgreen: Mostly because I know what a royal pain in the rear end that two-tone table is to mess with.. I've done it a few times in the past. You, on the other hand, have always seemed kinda keen to do things like that, so I suspected you had some trick to make it easier.. if I'm wrong, I apologise..

(If you have found some easy way to re-colour the table when you make new entries, I'd love to know how, actually..)
