Any idea if/when there will be official ogg support for iTunes or Quick Time for Mac ? The dual G4s have this stupid thing where if we stick the quick time components on the Mac and it screws them up, or the Mac gets screwed later, then it nacks up the warranty or sumthin. Basic point is we need official quicktime or iTunes support so we can play Vorbis on the Mac!!! Anyone heard anything on official support from either product ? <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Quoting Martin Blackwell:> Basic point is we need official quicktime or iTunes support so we can play > Vorbis on the Mac!!!I have an older dual G4 that plays vorbis quite nicely using the quicktime component from sourceforge. They have updated so that it works with QT6 and there is a separate version that works with QT6 as well. If you run 10.2.x you can also just use Whamb, which plays vorbis without problems as well. Of course, my G4 also runs debian with ease and I don't have all the hassles getting vorbis to play in that environment. If you want official support, email apple. http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net/ http://www.illadvised.com/~jordy/ http://www.whamb.com/ -- lukas eklund leklund@tastytronic.net --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

No, but this might interest Mac & Music Fans: there's an article on
Slashdot,
saying someone ported Linux on the iPod. According to the project site Tremor
runs at about 80% realtime, but there are still some improvements to come!
