Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players?

Posted by Cliff on from the something-other-than-MP3 dept.

Steve Andre' asks: " Given the approaching season, I'm wondering if many have used and have opinions about the new Ogg Vorbis capable portable players out there. What I'd like to find is at least a CD/MP3/Ogg capable player which sounds good and doesn't do 'odd' things. What's it like out there? Can I finally roast my Ogg files and take them with me for a walk?"

    Yeah, sure, you make a legitimate complaint about Slashdot comments, but tell me, does your post have hot grits or Natalie Portman in it?

    Thought not.

  3. Grandparent NOT a repost by RobertB-DC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I got this one in M2. It's not a repost! Parent (grandparent, now) has an earlier timestamp than the AC copy. The big tipoff is when the AC includes the original's .sig. Duh!

    * On further examination, the comment I've been asked to M2 is the brother of this post. It's not "Informative" 'cause it's wrong.
