For myself, my cellphone is my mobile audio player. It's a Motorola
ROKR E8, and not only can I play OGG, I can play AVI with MPlayer =p

I have to agree that marketing (by non-Apple player makers) isn't very
good. Out here, at least, the main marketing message is "more space
cheaper than iPod". Nothing else gets mentioned.
Also what never gets mentioned is "Do these non-Apple iPod competitors
work with iTunes"? Not that I use iTunes, but apparently a lot of people do. Lorenzo wrote:
A friend of mine has a really tiny sandisk one which plays vorbis at
least. I think it's not that uncommon anymore.
Vorbis and flac at least are rather often supported but it's not often
something marketing uses prominently.
With other formats, like wavpack, you'll have less luck. By the way, there are relatively cheap portable
players which support
OGG and FLAC
Really? Never seen one anywhere. My little portable CD player only
does
MP3 and WMA.
Of course, I use my laptop as my music player, no problem supporting a
whole pile of media formats including OGG and FLAC.
