Does the music player also support Ogg Vorbis?

No, it only supports MP3.

If you want to play some Ogg's while playing Soldat, you can just use foobar2000 and give it global key combinations so you can control it ingame.
There are other worlds than these

I'm not on Windows, though. I hope Michal will implement Ogg Vorbis support in the future, because unlike MP3 you do not have to pay money to add support for it to your program.

Use this:

to change your oggs to mp3 if you want to play them that badly.

I know how to change the music into a different format, but I prefer Vorbis because MP3 is not free.

What I'm now suggesting (since I found out this is impossible) is for Michal to implement this. Since this question has been answered, this can be locked. This will prevent responses like the above where my posts were not even read before being responded to.

As far as I know, you don't have to be on windows.

Stop whining and use Audacity. So what if it's not free, let Michal worry about that.

I only see exe files on the download page.

Nobody's whining here. You obviously are misinterpreting what I'm saying. I said I use Vorbis because it is free, and it would be a nice feature. I'd rather not have music than convert everything into another format for one application and then waste double the amount of space.

Again, will someone lock this to prevent more unhelpful responses? The question has been answered.
