This apparently plays formats that iTunes doesn't. I'd check it out if I had a Mac. :D I recall Nigel saying how there was no free Mac ogg player.
It spozed be a work in development. Saw it on the Reaktor forum.

Audion plays oggs. I usually go for the aac-format, but thanks for the tip.

interesting.
there used to be a /really/ cool player called macamp lite x, but the company making it ceased development because they thought itunes was better. i still don't really like the way the itunes playlist works; you can't sort by filename, for example, so if you've got mp3's without track number tags, the sorting is completely fucked.

Kay. This is the other part of the mac v pc argument that kinda looses on the mac side. How many programs do you have to play ogg files on pc? 100. How many mac programs? 1 (maybe)

iTunes is fine for me, I don't think there is a better music player out there.

i'm really used to iTunes now, i'm not sure i'll bother to change again but the seamless transitions, Ogg Vorbis compatibility and different skins are really tempting.

you can use .ogg in iTunes, you just need to install the codec into quicktime and they load right up in itunes...they're a bit slower to decode but whateever...
itunes does suck though....the whole integration of EVERYTHING into the program is it's main flaw...now a modular version of itunes that let you organize things better your own way would be my thing...

Or atleast a function that lets you specify the naming convention of the files. I think iTunes rock, and I forgot that I had the ogg plugin for it.
Good news on Audion being free though!

Not as a standard, but there might be someone who has made a plugin that lets it play aac. I haven't found one though.

I got loads of aac files. I convert all my new purchases using that format, unless I want to use them in traktor, then I opt for standard 320 mp3 rips. I'm quite a slut for aac :)

I discovered Audion earlier this week, good for free.
I also use the most excellent VLC for playing OGG files, as well as movie formats quicktime isn't into, such as AVi and WMP (it plays them far better than that crap Microsoft give away). It's also free.
