| FLAC decoder for Mac OS 9? |
Posted by: MidnightCommando on 2017-08-31 18:34:04
Does anyone know of a Mac OS 9 FLAC decoder? A QuickTime Component would be ideal for this task, but I don't believe one exists.
I'd love to run my music collection off my Power Mac G4, but don't want to install OS X to do so 🙂

Hmm I wonder if it would be possible to port the Xiph QT components back to OS 9

Vorbis themselves have an (outdated) page of suggested softwares:

Including Ogg Quicktime Components, the OS 9 predecessor to XiphQT, and Panic's Audion(!) 3.
Ogg QT's last OS 9 version seems to be here.

The latest QT Components is OS X only, QT 7 only, and supports Ogg FLAC only. But, I guess it might be a starting point, together with the reference FLAC encoder/decoder and the source for the QT 6 components, for kludging together some sort of FLAC component...
