Wolfsaaaaan! Could you somehow change the format of the nickleback oggs to MP3 or something? My default player for music hates them and my lady's computer isn't set up to handle oggs. I can email you or something.
The 'Lite' WinAmp download (to this day) does not include the Ogg Vorbis decoder module. This has pissed me off to high hell more than once in the past, yet they refuse to include it with anything but the 'Full' or 'Bundle' downloads.
MPlayer for Linux supports Ogg, most of the WinAMP-like software for Linux I've played with supports it (though I run Gentoo so I tend to get a LOT more things enabled than some folks do) and the 'Full' and 'Bundle' versions of WinAMP on Windows supports Ogg.
Failing that, do a search for OggDropXP if you have access to a Windows machine, or oggdec on Linux, run the Ogg's through that to get back to WAV, then re-encode to MP3 at your bit-rate of choice. Normally I'd say never transcode, but those Ogg's are 512kbit for crisakes, so they're effectively losslessly encoded for all realistic transformations and basic listening. :-)

And I'd be happy to help Laura install Linux, or hand her a live Linux CD with a player on it.
