    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.  :)
