OGG Capable Car Stereos?

ZephyrXero asks: "I'm looking to buy a new in-dash CD player for my car, but I can't seem to find any that support Ogg Vorbis. There are numerous players out there that support MP3 & WMA, but the majority of my music collection is in OGG. I even found a definition of what Ogg Vorbis is at the Crutchfield site, but the only player they have for it is this thing. Have any of you been able to find a simple car stereo that will play your OGGs? Or are my only options to re-encode to MP3, connect a portable music player to it, or try to build something like the Cajun project?"

That's pretty fucking stupid.

No, it's intelligent and insightful. What's "fucking stupid" is your recommendation of FLAC when Monkey's Audio offers better lossless compression.

What's also fucking stupid is your assumption that everyone wants to eat up gigabytes of disc space to store lossless copies of CDs that they already own.

I am the moderator for the Exact Audio Copy forum on Yahoogroups and know more about this subject than you ever will, so go away little boy.
