Thoughts on the New Crop of Ogg Aware Players?

Posted by Cliff on Friday December 5, 2003 @02:30PM 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?"

So let's see your logic:
1) Ogg vorbis is only of relevance if you are a Linux user.
2) Linux is free, therefore it must be used by poor people.
3) Poor people do not buy hardware.
Therefore, since ogg vorbis is only relevant to people who do not buy, there is no point in implementing it.
Anyone else see the problems here ?
