Playing ogg's: Playlist command not working

Aug 06, 2003 anagram link
Whenever I enter at the console: /playlist c:\g\oggs\music.m3u
(which has been confirmed to be a valid path) the console lists "error can't play X.ogg" where X is each filename in turn listed in the m3u. I have also played the oggs in question several times in Winamp. Is there a problem with the /playlist command? Are there limits on the format of the ogg files? Anyone else have this trouble?

I am running WinXP with DX8.1

Are the names of the ogg files (in the playlist) in quotation marks?

The list have to be a complete list of full paths (in normal text)eg:

"c:\oggs\some dir\song.ogg"
"c:\oggs\some dir\song2.ogg"
etc...

Thanks for the help fellows. I put in the full paths inside the m3u and then moved that file to the vendetta directory. Now it works! SuperMetroid music while playing Vendetta, thanks!
