This is useful when you '''already''' have .ogg files.


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]).
Here is what the settings dialog looks like:


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).

Step by step:
Quality:<br>
# install both
2 is "Fast"<br>
# run kJams
3 is "Good"<br>
# In your Preferences->Import, pick OggVorbis, and set your settings
4 is "Best"<br>
# do all your ripping
Anything above 4 and only a serious audiophile could possibly tell the difference.
# quit kJams
# 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
The bitrates are in BITS per second, so if you want 160 kbps, you have to type "192000", at least I think.  You know, i haven't tried it.
 
Weird I know, maybe this will be rectified by either a new QuickTime or a new Xiph installer.

The bitrates are in BITS per second, so if you want 160 kbps, you have to type "192000", at least I think. You know, i haven't tried it.
