Beta Ogg Vorbis Firmware For The Neuros [updated]

Posted by timothy on from the but-does-it-play-cd-rs dept.

volsung writes "It's finally here! Xiph.org has made a beta release of firmware with Ogg Vorbis support for the Neuros portable music player. You can grab the firmware from the Neurosetta site. Note that this beta release only plays Vorbis files, and may skip on very high quality files, like average bitrates above 200 kbps. Also, you'll need to head over to the positron website for instructions on how to upload Vorbis files. Big thanks go out to Monty all of his hard work, and Digital Innovations for supporting the project. (See the DI press release here.)" Update: 07/01 15:26 GMT by T : Stan Seibert writes with an update: if you'd like to get one of these players, visit open.neurosaudio.com to find them on sale.

      I asked my girlfriend what she thought and all I got was a blank stare. I offered to decipher it, but she declined on technical grounds.

      Apparently in Uzbekistan it means "Please fondle my buttocks."
      You don't want to know what it means in Tajhikstan.

      Around here, when you tell people you have a girlfriend, you usually get a blank stare too.

      In Tajik, isn't it "Drop your panties, Sir William, I cannot wait until lunchtime"?

    ... but I'm not buying a portable music player until it plays ogg files ...
