Has anyone else noticed that there is an icon for ogg in iTunes 4.5?
I hope this means ogg support is coming, hopefully to the ipods as well. right now the quicktime extenstion for ogg works fine, but I still can't play them on my ipod :-(
There is also an icon for nvf, does anyone know what that is?

WMA icons were there for years and they just finally did something with them, but not on the Mac side. In other words, don't hold your breath. Just because there's an icon doesn't mean support is coming. And if it does come, it may not be in the form you expect.

Why would they support OGG?
3rd parties have already done it... and they would rather have people convert to AAC over OGG.

I would have liked OGG as well, but I think there would have been issues when Apple started making DRM OGG files. I'm sure the open source people would want Apple to disclose the source...

I wish some damn music format would be picked, and everyone stay there.

Yeah but that would make it hard for all the different factions to make so much money out of proprietary (WMA) or unusual (AAC) formats! And after all, surely that is the idea behind it  .

Yeah, I know it's all money driven, but how many formats can a consumer stand? Digital music files are MP3's to consumers by default, someone should capitalize on the name recognition of that.
