Vorbis - Oct 2003 - Ogg support in Windows Media Player 9 and WMP Media Library

Greetings all,

I've got some questions and news (I think) regarding the Ogg
DirectShow filter, and Ogg support in Windows Media Player
and the WMP Media Library.

The OggDS that's in CVS -- is there any reason it's only 
at the 0.9.9.3 level and not the 0.9.9.5 level that's on
Tobias's webpage?

After downloading the 0.995 version and digging through the
Windows Media registry, I think I've found a combination of
settings that enables Ogg playback support as well as Media
Library import support for .ogg files (haven't tested this
with OGM files).

With these registry patches, you simply can click Tools > Search
for Media Files in WMP9 and it'll import all the .ogg's into
your All Music folder.  It doesn't read metadata just yet -- I think
that's a feature not implemented in the OggDS project.  But it's
certainly a start.

This also enables playback and indexing of Ogg files from 
applications that use the WMP Media Library -- most notably,
the Windows XP Media Center.

What's the list policy on file attachments?  The .REG file
is about 3K.

Yes.  Tobias was working on the next version, and gutted the 0.9.9.5
code for this, but never completed the work.  And he lost the original
source code.  0.9.9.3 was the last pristine source tree he had
available.  Afaik, the changes were quite minor (mostly unicode related
stuff iirc) for 0.9.9.5.

A URL is better, since we're likely to get flooded with "YOUR MAIL
COULD
CONTAIN A VIRUS" messages if you send an attachment.
