Since RC isn't converting try the Switch program. I have seen
posts about this program on PC-Audio list so I know it works.
It's a free program.

Or if you don't want to do this just copy the .ogg files to a
CD. Take the CD with you on your trip. When you insert the cd
into the drive bay of the computer you may get a dialog box
saying what do you want to play this disc or what do you want to
do message. Choose the cancel button.

Now go to "MY Computer" and locate the drive letter for CD
drive. Open that drive letter holding your CD. You will see your
files - the .ogg files. You can press enter on a file to start
playing them. I don't which player that computer has but Mike
said WMP player supports the .ogg files.

You can copy these files to the computer's hard drive by doing
ctrl+a then ctrl+v as you know.

You can open WMP player from Microsoft and press ctrl+o to
locate the files on your CD or if you moved them to the hard
drive to play them.

You can also do an applications key on a file/folder and choose
play with option while looking at the files on the CD or hard
drive.
