The best audio convertor out there is dbpoweramp. It's free, and there's an OGG plugin(and many others) available in their Codec Central. It has a swell little UI and is easy to work with. There's also a PowerPak that costs $14. There's a 30-day demo for it and you can only use the LAME MP3 feature during that time or after registering. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/If you're going to be needing something to rip temp/royalty free audio tracks for your game then the only thing you should be using is Exact Audio Copy. http://www.exactaudiocopy.org/

I didn't compile this list, but I thought it would be a handy one for the guide. These are services that allow you to upload large files to email addresses. Of course, you can point it to your own address and provide the link for other to download from. Useful for large resource and demo dispersement. Quote:
YouSendIt Size Limit: 1 GB Download Limit: 25 Downloads File Life: 7 Days
DataPickup Size Limit: 250 MB (was originally 1.5 GB but i guess their servers must've gotten bombarded so they had to lower it) Download Limit: 25 Downloads File Life: 7 Days
YouShareIt Size Limit: 50 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 7 Days
RapidShare Size Limit: 30 MB Download Limit: NONE (but there is a 75 second download timer and a 1-download-per-hour limit unless you have a Premium Account) File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
UltraShare Size Limit: 30 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
MyTempDir Size Limit: 25 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 14 Days
UploadHut Size Limit: 50 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
ShareBigFile Size Limit: 250 MB Download Limit: 250 Downloads File Life: 7 Days
Dropload Size Limit: 100 MB Download Limit: 1 Download File Life: 7 Days
UpDownloadServer Size Limit: 250 MB Download Limit: NONE, but there is a 40-second download timer (similar to Rapidshare's except shorter) File Life: Unlimited
ShareFiles Size Limit: 50 MB Other Limits: I haven't personally tested this so i'm not sure what the limits are in terms of # of downloads and/or file life, but from what i've read there's a bandwith limit and/or something about password protection, not sure what's meant by that though
UploadTemple Size Limit: 30 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
glint.files Size Limit: 30 MB Download Limit: NONE (i think) File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month Other Features: Password-protected download links, and in the download section, you can enter in a File ID and password (if there is one) to gain access to a download...not completely sure how it works though.
Xdrive (you can initially sign up for a free 15-day trial, but then once that's up your downloads off the server unless you pay for an account) Size Limit: 5 GB Download Limit: NONE (until your free trial period has ended, that is) File Life: Unlimited (again, until your free trial has ended...so it's techincally 15 days unless you purchase an account) ** NOTE ** In order to sign up for an Xdrive account, however, a credit card is needed for the free 15 day trial, so to those under 18 and also those who just don't have a credit card, take this into consideration before signing up. And if you do intend to sign up, be sure to keep watch on those 15 days you have in your trial because once the trial period is up you are immediately billed your first monthly payment of $9.95, so be SURE to cancel the account before your trial has completely ended!!
QuickFile Size Limit: 50 MB Download Limit: NONE (i think?) File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
bonpoo! (lovely name, eh?) Size Limit: 50 MB Download Limit/File Life: Unknown (still need testing)
MegaUpload Size Limit: 500 MB Download Limit: NONE File Life: 30 Days+ provided there's still download activity after 1 month
