PowerPC ONLY: In order to '''encode''' (rip) to Ogg/Vorbis, you will need to '''temporarily''' install the older [http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net/ QTComponents] ([http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41359 direct link]).

I am quite serious about it being temporary. See, the *new* one can read but not write, and the *old* one can write but not read.  Great state of affairs no?  If you install them both at the same time, you'll get the old one (so you can rip but not play).

# move the file /Library/QuickTime/OggVorbis.component to somewhere else (you can save it for later when you want to do more ripping)
# run kJams
 
Now your ogg files will play! :D
 
Weird I know, maybe this will be rectified by either a new QuickTime or a new Xiph installer.

To edit Vorbis Comments

This means, in order to "Get Info…" on a ".ogg" song file and type new Meta Info, and have the file itself updated to contain the new tags, you will need to download and install two separate packages. They must be installed in order, the second installer depends on the first installer having been already run.
