Just FYI,
Almost all the new generation of players will support ogg. The reason is
that in the past sigmatel did not provide drivers for ogg format. However
now they do and it won't take long for the market to be saturated with the
newest chipsets. Say about 1 year max. The drivers have been shipping for
about 6 - 12 months but it takes some time for the manufacturers to catch
up. They also have considerable gains in battery life so if you can wait
for the next gen portable music players it will be worth it.
Of course batteries will hopefully be made redundant by orbo when it is
made publicly available.
Cheers.

i would have tried out rockbox on it, but
i'm worried about the
battery usage, which the rockbox site doesn't look too optimistic
about. anyone have any good stories about using rockbox on this
player?
X5L with Rockbox here. I never took the time to see how long the
battery lasts because... it's just too long ;-)
