Check out the flash players from iRiver. They play ogg, mp3, and wav, and |
| 8 |
with the proper firmware are accessible as a USB device. The headphones |
| 9 |
that come with them are a little bit uncomfortable, but good enough |
| 10 |
quality that I could tell the difference between ~140k ogg and ~90k ogg. |
| 11 |
(I always use VBR, so those are average rates.) |

They seem to have discontinued ogg support on their HD based players, so be |
| 14 |
careful that the flash player you purchase does support ogg. |

Also, files can be deleted and loaded from linux even with the stock |
| 17 |
firmware. |
