So I figured out how to do this thanks to the library and the May Edition of MacAddict.

Step One: Download Ogg Vorbis Decoder Plugin for Quicktime 6.2 + from http://illadvised.com/~jordy Expand the .dmg and then put the file inside into Library/Quicktime/ Folder. Get an .ogg file from http://www.Vorbis.com and then right click the file and select "Choose Application" then select iTunes and it should play it.

Now for Step Two you can have the icon for the ogg file be the ogg icon provided by apple but in order to do so you need to hack the info.plist and insert a new code. In the magazine it says that it's on the disc and I don't have the disc so if anyone has the cd if they could post the code that would be cool!

Thx in Advance.

Found the Code:

<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>ogg</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
<string>iTunes-ogg.icns</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>Ogg Vorbis Audio File</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key>
<array>
<string>Ogg</string>
<string>OGG</string>
<string>ogg</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
<key>LSIsAppleDefaultForType</key>
<string>Yes</string>
</dict>


So Just open the package contents of itunes and go into the contents folder and open the info.plist file in textedit and past this text in between any </dict> tags
