apologies for the topic drift but I personally encode to MP3 because I 
have a cheap (i.e. $50) CD player that will play MP3s on CD.  Are there 
any equivalent (i.e. under $50) devices that will play oggs.  like many 
folks I prefer the sound and political aspects of oggs but the same 
time, I'm too cheap for my own good.
