Its great you've used ogg, but unfortunately AFAIK I have no way of playing
it under Tiger. The latest ogg vorbis quicktime component (verified for
quicktime 6 point something) causes quicktime 7 (tiger version) to crash
when playing your first file.

Any help for OS X Tiger users would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kurt and other OS-X users,

"Fink" should allow you to install the general Unix command-line vorbis-tools
pacakage, straight from vorbis.com:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php

then get the Tiger-compiled "vorbis-tools" package (which includes the player
ogg123, oggdec, oggenc, etc.)

http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/vorbis-tools

If Fink is at all like other packaging tools, it will resolve, install, and
download all the library dependencies automagically (most likely it will need
to install libvorbis, etc.)

Good luck....

Best,
Aaron.

If it's at all like Darwin Ports, it'll automagically resolve, download, and fail to compile the dependencies. Hehe. Anyway, if you want to mess with the command line there's also MPlayer.

Yes, I've also been soured by my Darwin Ports experiences.

I actually did hear a lot of good things about Fink though, but I'm not
willing to download it just for a single purpose because no matter what
there will be a learning curve and I don't have time for that now.

Thanks, but I'll probably wait for a canned instant solution.
