format? I've seen someone talk about using Itunes or ScummVM's "Audio Compressor" in the tools section, but I don't know exactly how to use Itunes and I can't find ScummVm's tools section.

I can tell you for a fact that the standard iTunes will not rip a CD using OGG format ..... Apple are too fond of AAC to even contemplate using a free codec especially when some results show OGG is better than AAC. It can rip them using MP3 but many people believe the MP3 compressor in iTunes is crap. Use something like LAME if you want MP3 format files.

From memory, I copied the .wav files off the CD then used oggenc from the CLI (I think) but this was in Mac OS X. I don't think Windows allows you to directly copy the audio .wav files from the CD using Explorer. What audio files are you trying to convert to OGG format?
