    I have recently set up an htpc running Vista.. how do I get the Music Library to import .ogg files? Most of my music collection is in .ogg. I have installed ffdshow and can play .ogg files if I open it manually but the media library will not pick them up.

    Vista Codec Pack allows you to read almost all video files with your favorite media player without adding useless codecs: http://shark007.net/.

    If you want to keep it to Ogg files, you can install the Direcshow filter here: http://www.xiph.org/dshow/
