That was question 1.

Question 2 was "Can one save osc files like MIDI files?"

If one can save OSC files like MIDI files, could you please send me
one, and some instructions on how to play it.

It's a bit premature for me to try to compare the protocols or the
formats as I have no experience with OSC, only MIDI.

I have plenty of MIDI files, and to play them I type
timidity <filename>
or
audacious <filename>
(The latter uses a plug-in.)
