Can't confirm the 95/98 part of it, but I just did a fresh install of
WinXP because my old one got to acting strange (you really can't run
Windows reliably for more than about half a year), and I had to
replace my Winamp. I got the Standard download and installed on a
pretty much fresh system, and all my oggs play fine, even with some
special titles.

While on the subject, here's the display format I hacked together
earlier today:

[%artist%-][%album%-][$num(%tracknumber%,2)-]$if(%title%,%title%,%filename%)

It happens to work pretty well for my playlist, and I'm even happy
enough with it to sort my playlist by title instead of path/filename
... but if anyone has a better display format that they use, I suppose
a little list traffic on that topic can't hurt.

Now if only we could duplicate this functionality in xmms ...
