Thanks for the reply, Steve.

Next, I tried ripping and encoding to flac, then converted one of the tracks 
to ogg from the command line using both --quality=0 and --quality=3. The 
iAUDIO played them both.

So, looked at the oggenc command line in grip. Nothing in there sets quality. 
It just passes artist, track, album, genre etc. So I added --quality=3 to the 
command line and ran grip again. Copied the album to the iAUDIO and it plays.

I'll have to try some more albums, but looks like it might now be working, 
thanks.

Dave
