My results, following the steps you outlined, are exactly the same as
yours.
Interestingly, that .ogg file, a brief recording of WSM Nashville,
converted into a .mp3 (and plays) when done using Switch.
So, there is either a problem with Replay Converter in handling .ogg files
in some way, or perhaps there are settings that must first be established.
My suggestion to JoAnne, therefore, is use another program to do the job
such as the previously mentioned Switch.
I don't have much experience with .ogg files either (I just happened to
have one sitting on my machine) so perhaps JoAnne's next step, if she
wants someone with a bit more experience in handling this file type, is to
query either on the Pc-Audio or Blindtech list.
