a plugin to play oggs in iTunes
Authored by: alys on Aug 09, '04 11:19:08PM
This hint tells you how to install a plugin that allows iTunes to play ogg files. If you're thinking of converting oggs to mp3s solely so that you can play them in iTunes, then using the plugin is a much better option. Ogg files will be smaller for the same quality (or better quality for the same size) than mp3 files.

Sure, ogg files are smaller than mp3 files. But iTunes is *very* slow to add .ogg files into its library. Trust me, I just imported 26000 songs, of which half were .oggs. It took at least 8 hours, IIRC (with my library on a USB drive connected to a Windows PC on the home network).

It would probably be faster to convert my entire collection to .mp3 and then add those to the library!
