Ogg Vorbis audio on Lion.

Does the Xiph Quicktime plugin work on Mac OSX Lion?

i tested it, it doesnt work =(
i put the XiphQT file on my Library/Components folder in my home directory.
i want to try putting it on my root directory but i cant find it now.
lion os x is another months of learning for me =(

/Library/QuickTime/

It does work. Just open Terminal and enter:

open /Library/QuickTime/

Now finder will open up the components directory for quicktime. Just drop your XiphQT-component here (you do need super user rights though)

(i guess
open ~/Library/QuickTime/ would work as well (installing the component in your homedir, but I haven't tried).

It works in Quicktime by moving the plugin as you said, but it seems to not work in iTunes. Any idea?

iTunes doesn't support Ogg Vorbis, unfortunately. You would have to convert it to either aac, aiff, mp3 or another format that QuickTime natively supports.

Down to 32/64 bit issues with Quicktime/iTunes

The Ogg vorbis codec appears to be loaded via quicktime. Quicktime is not compatible with iTunes (or iLife apps) loaded in 64 bit mode.
If you tick the "Launch in 32 bit mode" button for the app (find it in finder, click Get Info), then your ogg files will be able to play again using the same codec you had installed pre-Lion.
