What program will play an ogg sound file?

[Otto Heinzmeir]

Media player won't play an ogg file. Which program will work so I can review the in game sound files?

[Monica Lewinsky]

WinAmp for sure. Free version will read/play them, too.

There is a download of an ogg plugin to get WMP to play ogg files. I tried it, but it doesn't work on my vista machine
See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ogg.htm (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ogg.htm)

The real question is where did that obscure sound file come from and why did they use it? :hmmm:

sheeesh.

They used it because it's free and open source. Vorbis is used in quite a few games.

If you're interested, check out the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis).

Any decent mediaplayer will play Ogg Vorbis out of the box ;). I use Foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) in Windows, it's freeware and easy on system resources. Guess everyone has their favourite...

IrfanView lets you play .ogg files much the same way as it shows your pictures.
