I can't get iTunes 2.0.3 under MacOS X to place an ogg file in it's
library.  If I open the ogg file in QuickTime player and save it either
as a reference movie, or a self-contained movie, I can add that movie
and it will play.

It seems that iTunes has a hard-coded list of file types (or extensions)
and it only adds items on that list.  I have filed a bug with Apple, 
which
is under consideration.  If you want to influence the decision at Apple,
go to <http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/> and tell them that you want
iTunes to be able to add songs of any format that QuickTime understands
to its library, including 3rd party installed importers.  While you are
at it, tell them that you also want iTunes to be able to compress in any
format that QuickTime supports also.  That list is also hard-coded at
the moment.

If you are able to add an ogg file directly to the iTunes library, please
let me know how you do it.
