WTF? A Linux-based media player that DOESN'T support Ogg Vorbis out-of-the-box??
FIC unveils Linux-based portable media player (LinuxDevices) Posted Jan 5, 2005 18:18 UTC (Wed) by bdw (guest, #16047) [Link] From a business point of view, it makes sense. Ogg Vorbis is being somewhat slow to catch on.
But, you can probably hack it and add that capability. ;-)
