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."

    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.
