So, bought a game on steam, and as I usually do, bundled the soundtrack with it.... only in this case its supplied as OGG files.

Goggled the extension, and got a number of hits, but I tend to be wary of dling stuff, and the first one I went for (codecs for media player) did nothing, and the next talked about media players that are, as far as I'm aware, no longer existing, so I'm not too hopeful its up to date, so can anyone recomend a player or file converter for OGG files? (I'm on windows 10 if it helps)

I didn't realize OGG files aren't supported natively but I haven't had any trouble playing them with CCCP installed. I believe you need the 32-bit version if you're using Windows Media Player otherwise use the included Media Player Classic (my player of choice). Audacity should work for conversion.

OGG is working its way to becoming the new standard, so get used to it.

VLC is what you want. It'll play pretty much any format in existence.

Winamp (is that still discontinued?) has also been able to play it like, forever. Hell, it can play a few formats that have not seen the light of day since the mid nineties (MOD files).
