You can play Vorbis files in iTunes via the Xiph QuickTime  
Component.  I know I had some albums in .ogg format from when I used  
Amarok under FreeBSD that I play unconverted in iTunes that way.  (It  
isn't fully supported in iTunes.  For example, you can't attach album  
artwork, but the audio works fine.)

Unfortunately, you can't play them on an iPod, unless you've replaced  
its firmware with, say, Rockbox.

Cheers,

Paul.
