Vorbis - Jan 2003 - PhatBox and Music Keg unofficially support Vorbis

PhatBox and Music Keg (which I'd describe as MP3 players that hook into
your car stereo) unofficially support Vorbis.

Apparently there was a post to vorbis-dev quite a while ago about this,
but it's news to me, and it hasn't been on this list.  I'll add this
to
my hardware list, which I'll post here soon.

This was a (very speedy :-)) response I got from PhatNoise's support:

Tom,
Yes, the PhatNoise Music Manager (PMM) can encode to Ogg format. 
Support for Ogg on the PhatBox or Music Keg is unofficial.  Oggs can be
played on the PhatBox and Music Keg without transcoding by using the
binaries available at http://phatbox.sixpak.org/phatbox/ogg.phtml. 
Because support is unofficial, transfer of the Oggs cannot be done
through the PMM.  Instructions on manually adding Oggs are also on the
unofficial site.

Best Regards,
Mike Woo
PhatNoise

Not really a problem, sorry...

The FAQ mentions that the PhatNoise Music Manager can encode to Ogg
format,
but does this mean Oggs can be transfered to and played on the PhatBox
without transcoding?  How about the MusicKeg?
