Which models besides the iRiver, support ogg playback?
My pesonal take on music players is that they should come with a
standard media slot, either usb key or SD/MMC; I've got a cheapjack

Um...
A job that didn't run prints the same thing as a job that did run???
What makes you think it didn't run?
