I wouldn't know if there's a hardware Vorbis player in existence, though I haven't researched it. As I understand it, Ogg Vorbis was designed to be optimal for floating point hardware in PC processors. Anyway, I bought a 512MB flash MP3 player from juicekissdigital.com 6 months or so ago. (Their web site is now "under construction" but I assume their eBay store is active.) Plugged into USB it appears just like a flash media with a FAT16 filesystem, making it Linux compatible enough for me. It goes for 5 hours on a single AAA battery, which I happen to have NiMH rechargables, which is also great for me. Whenever I travel, I take it and 3 extra batteries, though I never used the first extra battery completely. Just poke "mp3 player" into eBay. Now the 1GB units are extremely reasonably priced. Most, like mine, are "Chinese brand," which is fine for my taste, and comes with a hilariously translated manual. Others are SanDisk or other known brands of flash media. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. -Chuck
