quick notes
1. Genre list is not included with plug-in setup. The plug-in will automatically remember anything you type in genre field and store it in genres.txt in Winamp directory. If you want to have in_mp3-like genre list and don't feel like typing it, you can download it from http://www.blorp.com/~peter/genres.txt (put it in Winamp directory). Thanks to everyone who sent me genre list files :) Note that the genre list is shared with my other input plug-ins (in_midi, in_vqf).
2. Updates (if any) will be (usually) available at http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.exe


* F A Q *

Q: Whenever I try to start playback, I get "The specified format is not supported or cannot be translated (...)" error message. Why ?
A: Go to Winamp preferences / plugins / input / Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder, click config, set output format to 16-bit. 24 & 32-bit modes DO NOT work on most of available sound cards.

Q: I get "Couldn't create secondary buffer" / "Couldn't set output format" error message.
A: Read above.

Q: I've set output format to 24 or 32-bit and my music sounds awful.
A: Disable EQ and any DSP plugins. Most of available DSP plugins can't handle any other formats than 16-bit; Winamp's EQ does something extremely stupid when it gets samples bigger than 16-bit (probably processes them as 16-bit and totally messed up the sound).

Q: Tags written by oggenc commandline or < instert your home-made encoder / tag editor here > aren't read correctly (some characters truncate them).
A: The program which created these tags ignores UTF-8 text ecoding. Re-tag them with the plug-in or VCE and everything will be OK.

Q: I am having some weird problems with title / playlist display...
A: Enable 'show average bitrate' option.
