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.)" 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.

  1. Hi guys. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I love niggers. I just wanted to put that out there by way of discrediting any rumours that I, Anonymous Coward, might be racist. I love their coal-black, oily skin, the silly looking pale palms of their hands, their nappy, jerri-curled hair, and even their fat, bulging lips. So, in summary, niggers are A-O-K with me, Mr. Anonymous Coward.

    On the other hand, I do not like Jews one bit. Have a nice day!

  2. Slashdot Store needed?? by jkrise · · Score: -1, Troll

    I must confess this is the first time I'm hearing about Neuros. Okay, I've heard as short for 'Neurotics'. With such things like Personal Submarines, Personal Rockets, Z80 based webservers etc., can't we have a Slashdot store or something? Anyone know what does this Neuros stuff cost?

      Sorry but with Slashdot's known security problems resulting from its lunatic fringe open-source code... I would not trust them with my credit card.

    You should be aware that Ogg Vorbis is financed by some of the most nefarious members of the RIAA, in an effort to fragment the on-line music scene.
