Beta Ogg Vorbis Firmware For The Neuros [updated]
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.)"

According to neurosaudio, this beta firmware upgrade will disable mp3 playback support. You can have one, but not the other. Looks like it would be better to wait until the beta stage has been passed before upgrading your firmware, since this will be resolved in later releases.
