In case it's of use to anybody else:   http://e-scribe.com/software/bookvorbis/ 4 cremes 03-18-2004 05:35 PM ET (US) I'm actually working on a QT component to play FLAC along with another programmer. The two of us have been in touch with the programmer of the OggVorbis QT component and will likely include FLAC as another CODEC within that component. Also, iTunes hasn't opened up its API for registering alternative codecs for ripping audio. This is unfortunate, but we hope a future version of iTunes will make this possible. Follow the progress of the FLAC component on my blog at: http://radio.weblogs.com/0134505/categories/CoreAudio/ There hasn't been an update recently, but it's coming. Patience, please. 3 Adrian Clark 03-18-2004 04:29 AM ET (US) As you say, there's no way of encoding ogg files with iTunes, but it will play them... http://www.illadvised.com/~jordy/ 2 pbx 03-17-2004 03:57 PM ET (US) The cynical side of me wonders if Apple is being slow to integrate other codecs in order to strengthen the relative position of AAC. 1 Paul Hoffman 03-17-2004 02:09 PM ET (US) There seems to be very little movement on new audio encodings on OS X. As another example, there are no SHN or FLAC players on the Mac that I can find. These are two lossless formats that are common in the audio recording area. There are programs for converting to and from them, but not for playing.	Upgrade to PRO Upload pictures, personalize your board, and more! About these ads
