I agree timidity is a pain for mods, but xmp does the job well in BL2. I
haven't tried yet in BL3.

That would be my preference, too, and I make .oggs in DOS (see my
website). But I haven't yet come across an .ogg encoder that runs in either
BL2 or BL3.

I use both bladeenc and lame (for mp3 in DOS and BL2), but I haven't
found the necessary where-with-all to encode .ogg under either of the BL
installations. I use audiocv in DOS, and an Ogg Vorbis encoder under Peanut
Linux (a RedHat distro), but nothing that runs under BLx. :(

If you have got or found an .ogg encoder that runs under BL2 or BL3, then
where can I get it ?

I don't. :)
