Transcription, please? And anyway, what the heck -is- a .ogg file?

[farandthefair.livejournal.com]

ogg vorbis... its a compression format.

from my understanding it's quite good, too

Ditto on that one... Yay! Finally i'm not the only one :-D

He's only askin' 'cause he doesn't have the software. You just can't hear me, even with the software.

Oh, and in a comment below, I found a way to make iTunes play Ogg Vorbis files (so if I send you any more music, you can listen to it with the rest of your music)

[ricewrites.livejournal.com]

Actually.. There is a possibility I would be able to hear you..

I could hear you on the phone, couldn't I?

[xoder.livejournal.com]

Point taken, and you are very right, of course :-)

Here is some information, provided by LiveJournal, about playing Ogg Vorbis files.

Oh, and IIRC, you use a Mac. You can make iTunes and Quicktime play Vorbis files by following the directions here:

Thanks, Xoder! Actually, I'm still a PC man, but after your fine friends told me what an .ogg is, I went and downloaded winamp last evening. Thanks, though!

Why do you make a phone post in the first place if you're going to transcribe it anyway? :P

[xoder.livejournal.com]

Because its the most convenient lowest cost way to make posts at two in the morning. And usually someone else transcribes it for me.
