Hi,
Windows Media Player doesn't handle ogg files. Is there a Windows app
that would allow my to listen to ogg files?
(That other hijacked thread has an ogg link, but I couldn't bear to
hijack the thread in yet another direction!) ;-)
Thanks,
Mark

There's a plugin for Winamp that does it, and there are others
(typically MP3 players) that handle ogg too. Try http://www.vorbis.com

Hallo,

The absolutely best audio player for Windows IMO is foobar2000(.org)
It's open source, it supports ogg, flac, mp3 and all else and is
really cool to look at... ;)
One of the many neat features it has is global shortcuts. I use this a
lot at work to transcribe radio interviews. It allows you to control
for example Rewind or the Pause function with a global key (I use
NUMPAD-0). That way you don't need to leave focus of the text editor
application to stop and rewind a missed section. This is sooo cool and
a major time saver. If someone could add this feature to alsaplayer it
would be wonderful...
I think, Foobar2000 should be the only player allowed on a Linux
user's Windows desktop, period.

Frank,
Thanks for the pointer.
OK, I've uninstalled winamp (for now) and am trying out foobar2000. It's
pretty minimalistic, but it's working. Impossible to say if it sounds any
good on this system which uses a SB Audigy and a noisy external amp and
speakers. I'm listening with some headphones. This amp has a lot of hiss. It
does work though, which is always the first step. I'll try it for a few days
and see how it goes.
Thanks,
Mark

The minimalistic interface is of course intentional. You're lucky,
because prior versions (< 0.7) didn't even have a seek slider. ;)

I don't think you'll hear much difference between OGG players: They
all use the Vorbis decoder, AFAIK. The hardware is probably more
important.

what a cool idea!
wouldnt this be a windowmanager specific thing?
what wm are you using? i guess any decent wm should
be able to assign an arbitrary keyboard command to
a program. i already have a program which acts as an intermediary
between apache and alsaplayer so if i can work out
how to do this in the ion wm i'll give it a shot!
how many seconds for the rewind, 10?
cheers

Ah, yes, the WM should be able to do that. I never thought of that.
I'm using blackbox which can run any program on any key. So a remote
controlled alsaplayer should be rather easy using libalsaplayer. I'll
have to dig deeper into this.

I think, I normally do use 10 seconds rewind to get into the speech
again.

> what a cool idea!
just in case anyone is interested this
turned out to be even easier than i thought.
fluxbox example:
add to '~/fluxbox/keys':
Mod4 Down :ExecCommand alsaplayer --prev
Mod4 Up :ExecCommand alsaplayer --next
Mod4 Left :ExecCommand alsaplayer --relative -10
Mod4 Right :ExecCommand alsaplayer --relative 10
then restart fluxbox.
ah, the simple things in life!
thanks for the idea Frank.

Cool. Applying this to blackbox, I found, that this is possible there,
too, with commands like:
KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Mod4), WithAction(ExecCommand), DoThis(alsaplayer
--relative -10)
in ~/.bbkeysrc
But actually I now configured the otherwise useless multimedia keys on
my (itouch) keyboard with "hotkeys" like. Thanks for this pointer.
Alsaplayer rulez big time. If only re-sorting of the playlist was
possible, or am I missing something again?

How do you map those multimedia keys to your config file if they don't
have a normal qwerty equivalent?
All you need now is one of those sticky label strips that used to go
above the F keys for MS-DOS programs!

the 'showkey' command shows you the code of a pressed key. It doesn't run in
X, but in a console.
