Yess OGG files are handled. *But* you wont be able to use your names -
as the code matches on filenames, not tags. Files in MusicSimilarity's
DB will be named "source.CUE_TRACK.<start>-<end>.mp3" e.g. If your
source file was "Artist/Album/Blah.flac" then the fist tack would be
something like "Artist/Album/Blah.flac.CUE_TRACK.0-180.22.mp3" The
start/stop times are taken from LMS's Library.db file.

In the play queue the track's entry will be something like
"file:///my/music/Artist/Album/Blah.flac#.0-180.22" This URL is passed
to MusicSimilarity, which strips of the "file:///my/music/" prefix then
converts the "#.0-180.22" part to locate the track in its DB.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
(Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update
messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open
console tab in developer tools 4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS
will be logged here.
