[vorbis-dev] Ogg Media Player

[rinnan at mac.com]

RealJukebox and iTunes both do what you describe, and iTunes does a 
better job of it.  With the QuickTime plugin, you can even get iTunes to 
play ogg files.  But I'd like to see FreeAmp improved with these 
features.  It does have some sort of music management database-type 
stuff in it and does support ogg.  It's open-source, and runs on Linux 
and Windows.
