Rach 2? Good choice there Frame.

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.

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

Many thanks for the technical assist guys. I like free things.

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...

Cheers Frame

Nice one Frame! Well done!

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".

Pfft, why do you assume its my job alone?

Will put it up then!

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.

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?

Here it is on the Wiki:

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..)
