ITunes/Ogg in iTunes

To enable iTunes to play Ogg files, install the official Xiph QuickTime Components. This is straightforward, as outlined below.

If you wish to also associate a file type with Ogg, the process is somewhat more involved; see below.

Install components

 * 1) Make sure iTunes is not running.
 * 2) Install the official Xiph QuickTime Components from Xiph.org. iTunes is a QuickTime based application, these components and frameworks allow any QuickTime application to play Ogg files for that matter.
 * 3) Files may be dragged into the iTunes Library window or added via the File > Add to Library… command.
 * 4) Enjoy your new music!

Conflicts
If you have installed older QuickTime Ogg components, there may be conflicts, so you will want to remove these. Read the installation/uninstallation instructions that came with the older packages, or check in the following directory for files with Ogg in the name, and remove them: /Library/Components, /Library/QuickTime, and similarly in your home directory.

File type association – advanced
iTunes by default does not have a file type association with Ogg files despite the fact that it has an Ogg icon. Enabling the association in Mac OS X requires editing the Info.plist file with a text editor, not Property List Editor (as it does not support copying and pasting branches of the XML tree).


 * 1) Right click on iTunes.app and choose "Show Package Contents", open the Contents folder and then select the Info.plist file and make a copy of it.

Modify your Info.plist by adding this : CFBundleTypeExtensions ogg CFBundleTypeIconFile iTunes-generic.icns CFBundleTypeName OGG Audio File CFBundleTypeOSTypes ogg! OGG! ogg OGG Ogg CFBundleTypeRole Editor LSIsAppleDefaultForType Yes You can change the icon if you want also.
