To answer your own question find the oldest CD you own, something from long before Ogg Vorbis. You will still find Ogg Vorbis files. These are NOT on the CD. The OV directory is a 'pseudo-directory' to make it easier to convert files from one format to another. IF you drag a file from this OV 'folder' to another directory what will happen is Kong will convert the file format on the CD to OV format as it writes it to the other directory. It can REALLY take a while so don't be surprised about that. It is a way to 'rip' CDs. Scott

Following a recent rant about audio nd SuSE I put an audio CD in my PC drive and clicked on the CD-ROM desktop icon, just to see what happened. Please understand I usually listen to audio CDs through my Hi-Fi or in-car audio systems.

I was amazed to see that the contents of the CD were displayed in a konqueror window, though as I expected the CD-ROM was not marked as mounted. I was even more amazed to see that the CD had a directory called "Ogg Vorbis" and on inspecting the contents of the directory it proved to contain all the tracks in ogg vorbis format!

I had no idea that audio CDs had ogg vorbis tracks included on them so I looked at some more and they all had it. I then checked on some classical music CDs and they all had ogg vorbis files.

At first I thought that maybe this was a trick of Konqueror to make replay easier but when I tried playing a track from a Phillips Mozart collection CD it proved to be a Credo from a completely different CD! A mistake by Phillips but proving that Konqueror was not creating a ghost directory.

What is this, do all CDs have the tracks in ogg vorbis format?

Please enlighten me!

In perplexity, Peter
