As far as I know, there's only one standalone device that can handle
.ogg (I don't remember which).
Apropos portable mp3 player: with a bit of money comming in with my new
job, I finally decided to get one - something I've wanted to have for
years. It seems to be quite nice - an USB-stick type of device, with
512MB, playlist support and an FM tuner for about 100 Eur, which seems
pretty much a bargain. The bad part is that I bought it online, and have
to wait 1-2 weeks for the delivery.
