Ogg Player Free Ogg Vorbis

May I suggest the patent-free Ogg Vorbis format, encoders and players for which are available for all major operating systems: Software patents are a great danger to everyones ability to create, use, and share software.

This Plugin is working quite well for me under OS X (10.2.1) with iTunes 3 and Quicktime 6.0.2.

The only downside is that the visualizations do not respond to Ogg files using this plugin version.

Expand the Open With section and select iTunes as the application to open your Ogg files.

Then select the Change All button to make sure that iTunes is your default Ogg player and then youre done.

Ive heard rumors of ogg support for the iPod coming from Cupertino, but I have yet to actually see anything.

No flamewars please) The other part is that its the favorite audio format of Linux folk, so if only for PR, its excellent that OS X is supporting OGG.

For some, not being able to move gigabytes of music to a new platform is just another excuse to not give in and go to OSX.

You will see not a single result relating to Ogg Vorbis--NOTHING.

People are supposed to pay licenses (or the company that makes the software is supposed to) if they use any mp3 decoder or encoder now (see thompson licensing) but nobody does.

As for the quality, if youve seen the forums at hydrogen audio (where the developers of LAME, vorbis, aac, mpc, flac, etc.

If you cannot hear the difference, then fine stick with mp3 for convenience, but dont dismiss the technical superiority of vorbis based on this.

Ogg files that vbr around 170-180 can easily be equivalent to mp3s of 224 kbps.

If people are seriously going to criticize vorbis, then at least do some hard testing and be a little more knowledgeable.

I think ogg Q 4.99 is a great balance between file size and audio quality.

Also, the benefits of open source formats like this arent to be tossed aside lightly.

Sure it doesnt seem to be bothering you at the moment that you arent paying the mp3 license fees, but with DRM getting built into more and more devices, accountability grows, and big business can pull the noose tight on you.

Remember how internet radio was basically shut down recently Thats due in part to mp3 licencing issues.

You can stream ogg all you want without fear of anyone trying to stop you on format licencing issues, because its free.

Free doesnt mean no cost, it means that you dont have to put all your eggs into some companies basket in order to use it.

Ogg may not be the best choice for many mac users until the ipod supports it, i admit, but I hope that the ipod will eventually support it, and when it does, I fully expect to switch my collection to ogg.

The best option is to go back to the source material and re-rip and encode.

Until you can do that, stick with a hybrid collection of mp3s and ogg, and just phase out the mp3 over time as you have the time to access the source material.) peace, sam.
