Play flac or ogg files in iTunes

So you want to play open source music formats in iTunes. Here's a quick, painless way to do it:

Go to http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/download.html and download XiphQT 0.1.5 (Windows). Unzip the folder and extract the contents.

Copy XiphQT.qtx file to the 'QTComponents' sub-folder of your base QuickTime installation directory. Typically it means:

C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTComponents

You may need to create the 'QTComponents' folder if it doesn't already exist in your QuickTime installation.

Restart iTunes.

This may not work on newer versions of iTunes. I think this was tested during the 6.x series release. You can still play flac and ogg though. Search for a player at http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_tasks.html
