Hello, I'm going to start by asking something that has probably been asked before (although I didn't see it on the lists at sourceforge). Is anyone working on getting iTunes to work with flac? I'm bouncing around a few ideas and it seems like the logical approach would be to write a quicktime component using this project as a base http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net I see a post from Matt Field to a qtcomponents list on 2003-03-14 that says: > Who's working on FLAC support > > Anyone? > > I'm thinking of starting. Anyone on this project using visual studio on windows? If not what? > > Thanks, > Matt I wonder if they are off to a good start? This also brings up another question, at what point (if any) does the integration between flac and ogg allow us to extend or generalize the ogg qt component to deal with vorbis and flac content instead of writing an independent flac qt component. Thanks for any input. --Dustin

Ideally, should I be heading toward the generalized ogg component or would the flac component be more appropriate? --Dustin

I glanced through the vorbis qtcomponent a while back and it seemed tightly integrated, i.e. not much separation between the ogg and vorbis layers.
