It turns a 25MB QT movie file into an 8MB (@256kbps) mp3 file. And it sounds great. Thanks Tom.

This time, I think I erred somewhere... all my flac files are now QT movie files, about 5x bigger than an mp3. What did I do wrong? (Oh, there's a new version of XiphQT so that may be an issue...)

Having trouble mounting the .dmg file. I am using XP - is that the issue? If so, is there a simple workaround?

Hi,

I am fumbling with: “Last get the set-OggS tool (its the set-OggS-0.1.dmg ) and place the “Set OggS.app” in your dock or somewhere else where you can easily drop files to.” Well, i can get the dmg file but the rest escapes me. I don’t see the OggS.app file and don’t understand what it means to place it in your ‘dock.’

Can someone simplify for me? I am none technical, but anything to open itunes to flac.

Many thanks
Hans

if you know how to mount a .dmg file … like double-click it, you should see 4 files in the mounted image:

COPYING.txt
Clear OggS.app
ReadMe.txt
Set OggS.app

if not … you may use an other browser to download the file (like safari). next steps should be simple from that on … your dock is the bar down there with all the little icons on it :) you simply drag it into that place and you are done …
