Hi Nick and all, Wonder if anyone is selling any MP3 players preconfigured with Rockbox? Now, I think that'd be a deal for one of the blindness products companies?

Subject: Re: If you had to buy a mp3 player today Andr,e the lossless vorbis format is called Flac, though I'm hearing that WavPack is better, and it's also open source. Why it isn't used more than mp3, maybe because the public seem to flock to closed up formats. People like Apple don't seem to want anything to do with Vorbis, and mp3 seems to have the name recognition.
