   Whilst perusing Usenet on Thu, 8 Mar 2007 06:11:59 +0000 (UTC), I read   
   these words from Moog  :

   I did . . . had ! I'm in the middle of a totally clean re-install.   
   I didn't think moving /home to another partition had worked   
   properly so I re-formatted that partition . . . . . . . . Ooops !

   >Do you really need to transfer your files to .ogg and edit   
   >all the tags?   
      
   No ! There's no way I ever go through that again !   
   It took me a whole Winter to rip all my CDs, LPs and   
   some of the Audio Cassettes and 8-track tapes I had   
   and tidy up the ID tags.   
      
   (Younger readers will probably ask, 'Wot's an 8-track ?')   
      
   I only converted about a dozen tracks from mp3 to ogg.   
   Just so that I have a small selection of various file formats   
   available to see what works and what doesn't.   
      
   I believe that, for instance, .flv is a no-no under Linux.
