    Yep, I have audiocv, but never had the time to play with it.
I guess I will have to make the time.

   Same one I have, compiled by Florian Xaver ?

   Looks like it.  :)
Although bit-rate has a great deal to do with final file size. I have
found it directly proportional - 128 bps makes a file twice the size of
a 64 bps MP3.

   This didn't work for me.  It seemed that MPXPLAY (v. 147) didn't like
to be called from outside its own directory, or Arachne didn't like 
something I couldn't spot, and I wasn't able to get MPXPLAY to work from 
inside Arachne at all.  :(

   For a while.

   So, I tried it as:

MIME.CFG:
file/.ogg      |@call playogg.bat $1

with PLAYOGG.BAT as a one line:
          d:\mpx\mpxp147\mpmplay.exe %1


   and Bob's your uncle - away we go.      :)


Regards,
        Ron
