Re: [playogg-discuss] e-mailing OS formats

[Jeff Shippen]

Here's a few sites I found if anybody wants to start converting.

Does anybody out there host a website that would be willing to set up a 
"funny oggs" page?  It would be great to  provide a link in the e-mail, 
so people can hear more at their will.

http://www.thebards.net/mp3/ (I listened to "DO VIRGINS TASTE BETTER 
MEDLEY").  Probably no viral songs here, but still worth sharing.  
Pretty good for a band that supports sharing.  Oh, I just stumbled upon 
"DONALD WHERE'S YOUR TROUSERS? MEDLEY".  I remember that from Dr Demento 
a few years back, before I moved.  This one is pretty silly, worth 
sharing too.  Located here:
