When you say "ogg-compatible" do you mean that it'll be identified as an ogg file by anything that plays ogg (the docs and FAQ aren't completely clear on this). IE: I can have completely lossless compression and have it appear to be an ogg file? Or am I missing something.... > Also, the Rio Karma > <http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/shop/_templates/item_main_Rio.asp?model=220&cat=53> > has FLAC and Ogg Vorbis support. I saw this recently and have been lusting after it since then :) I just wish they were actually in the stores around me, as for something like this I really want to hold it in my hand and know that it *feels* right before I drop big $$ on it. Either that or the Cali[1] (for going to the gym). It doesn't have ogg or the huge hd, but is expandable up to 768mb and has an fm tuner, is solid state (not as many worries about dropping it) and is tiny.
