Apple's Present: iTunes Supports Ogg Files

Posted by timothy on from the yummy dept.

curious.corn writes "I may be a fool (and a happy Christmas Mac OS X newbie ;-) but it seems that this morning's software update brought a really cool cadeau to Mac OS X. How 'bout Ogg file integration in iTunes? Yesterday evening I could only play them in QuickTime (after downloading a component somewhere) this morning I updated iTunes and am enjoying my old Linux playlists. Buon Natale a tutti voi Edo."

      And then my .ogg was gone. It was a really good .ogg.

  4. Cadeau? Gift. Buon Natale...? Good NATO to you? by jerryasher · · Score: 4, Funny

    So I couldn't this one out. And googling didn't help much either.

    The babelfish tells me that cadeau means gift in french. But it couldn't translate "Buon Natale a tutti voi Edo" into English. Translating from Italian, and the fish tells me it means: "Good NATO them to all you Edo", which evidently is a suggestion that we bring the Japanese into NATO. Which is interesting, as just yesterday I heard a report that with the North Korean situation and everything, the Japanese are once again considering their needs for their own defense.

    But what does that have to do with Ogg?

    1. open up submit story.

    2. mention macs, mentioning that you're a new convert is a good way of doing this.

    3. mention ogg.

    4. mention 'new update', don't bother to mention WHERE you did get this 'update' or what you were smoking.

    5. PRO.. err. dunno, slash fame. put some pron on your journal, maybe somebody reads it.

    slashdot xmas math: ogg + mac + update - sense = INTRESTING.

    You're right! Whoever says that "The Last Supper" is a masterpiece or that Leonardo da Vinci was a giant in the history of art is a RACIST!
