I just posted this:
The iPod is considered *the* player, so why not offer the best?
I'm on the lookout for a portable player. I'm really sad to say that an iPod is at present not an option for me. I think that is sad.
My problem is that
1. I'm picky regarding the quality of my audio files. (And I would think that Apple likes to have good quality?)
2. I don't care much for proprietary formats. It's not the way of the future.
The list of portable players that can play Ogg Vorbis (http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/PortablePlayers) is proof that it can easily be done.
So, why won't iPods utilise the power of Ogg? Ogg Vorbis is better, and it's free.
Check out: http://www.vorbis.com/
and give us a real option!
Thanks!
Sincerely,

Many requests may sway them, so let's do it everyone!
Is there a formal list that we can put our names on to encourage portable player companies to take advance of the great Ogg?
