I believe that you can get plugins for iTunes (OSX) that allow you to play ogg files. Be aware that this does not mean they will play ogg vorbis streams. --thanks Michael Edwards http://www.walledcity.ca>===== Original Message From Joseph Wilhelm <tarken@lyrical.net> ====>On Wed, 2003-05-21 at 10:16, boink wrote: >> hi, >> >> I'm not a Mac user, thus, my question is: >> >> What is the best way to listen to .ogg files with a Mac?

Some macs only play ogg files, not streams, others play everything fine, others don't work at all. Also, especially after system updates, the plugins sometimes start to work or stop working.. I don't know if it has anything to do with the quicktime version or anything else in the system.. I think a good policy on these plugins is to not recommend them, if people want to use them and get them to work that's great, but prehaps something like macamp or mint audio would be better to recommend. We really should compile a list of players which work properly with icecast, prehaps start an "icecast certification" process? :-) Ie, it has to play Ogg, has to handle chained bitstreams properly (change metadata, not go haywire when the number of channels or samplerate changes, etc), and prehaps throw some other stuff in there such as it has to properly handle non-vorbis codecs or something (ie, ignore them, give a message that it lacks support, etc). <p> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

They only play _certain_ files. I couldn't get them to work hardly at all, although I know I've gotten them to work in the past. YMMV. jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
