On this subject has anyone here used the Creative Nomad/DAP Jukebox (portable MP3 music player with 6 GB HD) with linux? There is Version 3 out now with a 20GB HD, so i am considering buying one, it has firewire and usb so would be a good backup solution as well. It does not play ogg vorbis though. There are a few projects out there, nomadworld.com http://nomadii.sourceforge.net/ http://www.nomadness.net/ JG Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

First decode them to a file by 'ogg123 file.ogg -f file.wav' then use an mp3 encoder to encode that back to an mp3 format. Generally spaking, the .ogg format is supposed to be a better choice. But mp3 is of course more popular. > dave Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Ogg is >>a superior format in many ways. >> >> >> >Some standalone players only play mp3s. > > And given the recent back and forth between someone who was working on an open fixed point implementation of an ogg decoder, and the ogg developers themselves, this doesn't sound like its going to change in a hurry. It definately sounded to me like the vorbis crew were wielding their control over the specifications to maintain monopolistic control over their proprietery fixed point decoder (which I believe the key component which would allow a portable player company to include ogg support in their firmware). People of course argued that the vorbis folks had some right to their 'bread and butter', but IMO it definately sounded sleazy how they were slacking on the specs, which conveniently is giving their own proprietary product a massive headstart in the market. I wouldn't mind nearly so much if they even openly admitted that thats what they were doing, but they didn't. Yes, on my PC, oggs are definately superiour to mp3's, but realistically that doesn't matter. Disk is so cheap these days I think I'll rerip to a lossless format like shorten(.shn) anyway. And for my rio800, well, I aint got no choice but to stretch the law and claim that since I have a licence to an mp3 decoder in windows software that I'm not using, that I'm allowed to use lame. Personally I think it would be hella cool if someone wrote a linux mp3 encoder 'wrapper', which took as input a windows encoder binary (free musicmatch, etc...). That would IMO get around the business of their being no reasonably priced licence for a linux mp3 encoder. -dmc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If it isn't too big of a deal, i'd suggest you just rip the tracks off the CD again and convert them into mp3's. I'm not really sure why you prefer mp3's over ogg's though. Ogg is a superior format in many ways. KIRT -- Where'd you get your CPU? A box of Crackerjacks!? - Wierd Al Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You can use ogg123 to convert it to .wav, then grip to convert it to mp3. Don't know if there's a direct converter available though. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
