Xiph is a collection of QuickTime plugins that allow QuickTime or iTunes to play Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files.
There are plugins for both Mac (Universal) and Windows, but you'll need to have QuickTime 7.x installed. The Xiph QuickTime components are released under the lesser GPL and the source is available from the site.
[Ogg Vorbis][3] is a popular open source alternative to MP3 and [FLAC][2] is a lossless compression format popular for its ability to maintain audio quality when compressing files.
There have been a few attempts at Ogg Vorbis QuickTime plugins in the past, but most of them seem to have been abandoned. So far as I know this is the first time anyone has created a way for iTunes to play FLAC files.
That's the good news. The bad news is I can't seem to get it working.
The plugins install okay, the additional frameworks also install, but neither Quicktime nor iTunes will actually play the files.
However plenty of people seem to have no problem, so don't let me troubles put you off. I'll post an update if I get it working, but in the mean time let us know if you get these plugins working.
