	That's not a bad option. FWIW, the iTunes method uses Free Software up 
to the point of the actual player (which obviously is not). The best 
part about the QuickTime option: it really integrates into the OS. 
Everything that uses QuickTime can then work with Ogg... iMovie, 
iTunes, iPhoto (for slideshows), etc.
