Any MP3 players supposting OGG Vorbis these days?

[johnnr892]

Hi, i have had my Rio karma for over a year now and it has served me well, but i have a lot of files that i ripped to OGG because of increased quality etc...but now my rio is on the way out, what relatively cheap mp3 players (around £150) are supporting this file format. My Rio only cost £135 back in the day...John.

My iRiver iHP140 supports OGG, not sure what the equivalent costs now though.

looks funky, plays ogg, quite cheap...what more do you want?!

Note: I don't own one, nor have I bought from that ebayer - I'm just aware that they (iriver) are cool.

brand new rio karmas are about £120 max now - i think microdirect still sell them.

mine is still going strong, i bought some special skin for mine and it doesnt have a scratch on it

i like the look of a toshiba 20gb mp3 player tho i dont know whether it plays ogg or not (probably not)

cheers

you can buy an ipod and flash it with the alternative OS that I've forgotten the name off. Then you can play pretty much anything

rockbox, that's what it's called

You can get an Iriver h140 for around £159 buyitnow from ebay and stick Rockbox firmware on it.

Or an h120 for around £90 buyitnow and stick Rockbox on it.

Or a 1 or 2 day auction for an Iriver h140 for around £120 (I've been keeping an eye on sales for a week now, and that's roughly what they're going for at auction)

All of these are sold by emilyandlily, shipped from the US.

They are marked as new items without remote control, but I think they are a mixture of old Iriver stock (I guess they're dumping what they have left) and reconditioned units.

The sellers seem pretty good too, willing to sort out any problems you might have if you are really unlucky and get one with a hdd with bad blocks.
