    On the other hand finding Ogg support audio players is pretty much
impossible.  I recently purchased an iPod NANO not because it supports Ogg but
because of all the non-ogg players carried by the local stores it is the most
likely target of Rockbox <http://www.rockbox.org> which does play Oggs.  For
someone who is ripping music to be portable Ogg still needs to make some
serious in roads.
