You mean like an iRiver H140? http://www.iriver.com/html/product/prpa_product.asp?pidx=43 And you hook it up to a linux system just like any other USB hard drive and just copy your music files to it: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/cdetail11473.html

this looks like just what I have been interested in! But ... the entire h100 line appears to have been discontinued. Any ideas why? What looks to have replaced it is the h10/20/40 line, and the difference seems to be that it include the "plays for sure" bullsh** and thus only supports wma! I think there was a very nice rio player that also supported ogg, that similarly is discontinued. this is really starting to bug me ... i pod or M$ or nothing, it appears! p

Hi p, Right here this last week we discussed how great the Samsung YEPP line of players and their ability to play OGG-Vorbis music. They seem to do that as well as having the Play For Sure Bullshi*. Several also have LCD screens that also display photos. PeterB

Best Buy currently lists the "Samsung MP3 Player with Color LCD Image Viewer and 20GB* Hard Drive" as being ogg-capable: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6979228&type=product&id=1099387490036 I didn't think any of this DRM/"Plays For Sure" nonsense could be enforced against ogg files, can it?? I thought it only applied to the Microsoft or IPod proprietary files formats.

It supports an open file format and works very well! They can't do that and get Microsoft to share their DRM secrets can they?

Oh, I almost forgot. Best buy also lists a number of iRiver flash players. I bought an i890 for my wife based on how well my iH140 works and was very disappointed. The flash player is very stupid and picky about the Ogg file format. After repeated ripping with different bit speeds and other tweaking, at best I could get only half of the Ogg files to play in the i890. MAYBE the bigger flash models have more brains in them (iFP-900 series), but I can't say.

You're right. It was there a few days ago when I searched for Ogg. Looks like they did a major inventory update to the web site. Now the search is returning the "Samsung MP3 Player with Color LCD Image Viewer and 5GB* Hard Drive YH-820 " among other things. They also changed the way the site represent search results and now the URL has become unwieldy, so I'll leave it as an exercise to the interested readers to search Best Buy "Electronics" for "Ogg".
Has anyone tried one of the TrekStor models? Price and Features look good, but there is a dearth of info about them on the web. TrekStor i-beat 1Gb: ~ €150.00

I've got one, although the model I got on sale doesn't support ogg. One of these days I'll get one that does. That being said, it's a good player for mp3's. Runs for hours on 1 AAA battery. Sound is quite good at least for my listening. I'm not one that spends thousands on sound systems. ;-)
TrekStor i-beat 1Gb: ~ €150.00
Watch for sales. I'll bet you can get it cheaper if you look around. I got my 256mb for around 30 euro. The going price on every other one at the time was almost double that.

There was a thread in this list just within the last week: Subject: "Samsung Yepp YP-T7Z on SuSE 9.2". The original post on that thread appeared on Sun 05-07-31 at 16:04 PDT. This is a flash-RAM player. The Rio Karma does MP3, WMA, Ogg and FLAC. It is a 20-GB hard-drive player. Randall Schulz

A bestbuy search lists a number of flash players that support ogg: go to bestbuy.com and search for "flash ogg player", or if your interested in models with hard drives just search "ogg player".

Cowon also supports ogg. I use the Cowon iAudio G3 flashplayer myself. It seems something like a spinoff from iRiver. I chose Cowon above iRiver because their players are working luke USB Mass storage devices out of the box. DOn't know if this is till the case but for iRiver special software was needed.

Cowon players are very good - I have a small 256Kb one, and it is easy to transfer songs, and ogg files play perfectly. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD

256k?? Wow Vorbis's last release must have really done a great job on the last release :) Personally I have a Zaurus SL5500 which I patched for ogg support which works great. Regards, Ben
I have tow of the EZAV flash players ( 512 and 1 G ) and both automount under linux easily. Good for recodring lectures and the radio (built in) as well.
