    piece of useless Linux Digital appliance crap.

    Gee how many handhelds and Laptops do you see running Linux compared to Win CE/XP?
    Fuck all!

    hahah.

    OGG is equivalent to what PNG is today.

  2. So, to summarize -- by Oliver+Defacszio · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    -- this player is yet another in an already oversaturated market and only exists because it lends support to a music format that no one on planet earth cares about outside of a small group of nerds who don't like paying for anything.

    Smells like success. I give it six months.

    From a technical standpoint Vorbis is better than MP3 in every way. I don't say this to complement Vorbis - mp3 is just crap.

    He just means he's Canadian.
    Candians are USA's palestinians : they are forced to buy Universal's shits as Laibach won't consider performing in north amerloka because of the obvious lack of freedom that there is (even russian coders get imprisoned when they discussed about rot13 there).

    (BTW, +5 funny just shows how moronic moderators are. let's say +2 funny and subsequent votes get -1 overrated would be enough for such a lamer)

    Oh, well if you read about it... shucks, why didn't you say so? Those of us who have a preference based on merely hearing the difference for ourselves are definitely a bunch of chumps. Thanks for setting us straight.
