iTunes might be your default player on your Mac or Windows machine, though it can support most music formats, it still can’t support the OGG Vorbis format. That means you will not be able to play OGG files in iTunes.So if you’re an avid open source supporter, and download music files, podcasts, audio files primarily in the OGG format, and make them work on iTunes, you’ve to do the following, it’s pretty easy on Windows/Mac.
- In order to make iTunes support OGG files, you’ll need to install a QuickTime component
- The component needed for iTunes to play OGG can be downloaded from this official website (for Mac and also for Windows)
- Install the QuickTime component that you downloaded
- Fire up iTunes, add an OGG file to your library, play it and magic
- iTunes will now be able to play your OGG audio collections as well
Hope this guide helped you!

Interesting post. I play a lot of ogg files that I download from the net. If i could work together with itunes, that’s more exciting!
Thanks for commenting, Ken Xu. Yeah OGG on iTunes will only be better.
