This is why we should all use ogg, exclusively. Not only better technically, but less likely to encounter difficulties from patent holders.

Apple is losing sales (from me and and my girlfriend), because no iPod can play an ogg file.

At least not without Rockbox... :)

Rockbox doesn't work with any iPod presently on sale :( it works
wonderfully on my iPod Video (all I lose is the dedicated-hardware video
playback which I wasn't going to use anyway, and I gain lots of nifty
features and extra battery life). But it doesn't work for people buying
new stuff *now*.

I'm waiting for the day when players you can buy will come preloaded with RockBox. :)
