similar to: New iRiver Firmware supports Vorbis!

I've seen in this discussion: http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200304/0000.html that not only is it possible for the iRiver iMP-350 to play Ogg, it can also play FLAC - I didn't know this, and two question arrise: * It is possible to get the iRiver H120/140 to play FLAC (I know the Rio Karma can) * People sometimes say things like "Ogg is not tuned well for high bit rates"

Does anyone have the iRiver iFP-790 player (or maybe any other one of their iFP-7xx series)? I bought this player very recently, and I have been having problems with Ogg Vorbis playback. It skips so much that you only hear music 20% of the time. Is my unit defective or does the player really have problems with ogg vorbis? I think mine even chokes on wma's encoded at standard settings. Any

Found the following listing on amazon.com: iRiver ChromeX iMP-150 CD/MP3 Player with 120-Second Anti-Skip and Upgradeable Firmware (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000669BN/qid=1062970402/br=1-2/ref=br_lf_etk_ce_av__2//002-6698891-2179212?v=glance&s=electronics&n=516876). Does anyone know if it supports Vorbis thru an alternate firmware? -- "Everyone has to find

Hi, Does anyone (of the developers) know what's the status on the iRiver Vorbis support? Mainly I'm interested in knowing if it will be a firmware update or if they'll have to make a new player. I'm thinking about buying the iMP-350, but I don't want to buy it now only to discover that it will never support my favorite audio format. TIA, Alex --- >8 ---- List archives:

Hi all, My japanese is not so good ;-) But it appears that iRiver have released the iHP-120, and it includes OGG playback support. http://www.iriverjapan.com/product.php?product=iHP-120 If you scroll down to "Multi-CODEC" you will see that they use the words "Ogg Vorbis", not once but twice! I haven't seen it float past here yet, so I just thought that I would bring it

Hi all, I buy a iriver's ifp-880 portable player, it only can play ogg file with bitrate 96kbps-325kbps. I know that the higher bitrate of file, the more cpu cycles to comsume in most case. For beyond 325kbps,I guess the chip (pnx0101) can't realtimely decode. But for ogg file below 96kbps, the cpu performance maybe isn't the bottleneck, and I suspect because of the limitation of

Hi, I bought an iRiver HP-120 which can read ogg files (via a hard drive). Many people experiment that reading ogg file decrease the baterry charge more quickly than with mp3 at the same bitrate. The only raisonnable reason of that mysterious thing is that reading ogg file is not sequential onto hard drive, and the hard drive head must move more than for reading an mp3 at the same quality, and

Hi everyone! I've just bought subj and updated the firmware to the 1.50b (beta) version. It plays ogg vorbis files, but only in a 96..256kbps range. That sucks because unfortunately almost every album of my music collection is encoded at q=9.2, and several bits, on the contrary, are encoded at very low bitrates like 60-80 kbps :( Well I can always reencode when I have time, but can

I remember seeing a post about a japanese link to a new portable with OGG support. I stumbled across this today and thought I'd throw it out there incase you guys hadn't seen it. http://www.iriveramerica.com/products/iHP-120.asp Looks pretty sweet to me. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this

http://www.tomshardware.com/consumer/20040428/index.html The iRiver iGP-100 was just reviewed at Toms Hardware. They specifically mention that it supports Vorbis. Just thought I'd pass this along.

I was about to ask how to get this to work, but I think I might have solved it with another last look down the documentation before I clicked on the send button. I have an annoying little problem known as the iriver T60 audio player. It plays Ogg files from my PC perfectly well, but only in the same order in which it thinks they were copied onto its flash memory. It makes no attempt to sort

I'm not subscribed to this list, but I have been reading the archive online for awhile now. I thought this forward may be of interest. It sounds like we _might_ have Vorbis capable players in the near future! :) Any more word on support from iRiver? The hardware URL has not been updated since they were supposedly shipping Vorbis capable units to Xiph. -- Mark Nipper

You didn't give me any details though. I mean, is it actually feasible? And the point is to record, not just play. The device I'm talking about, that I wish

I like the vorbis.com site, and it was my first contact with Vorbis. Hardware support has never been hugely important to me, but the perceived lack of hardware support keeps many people from using Vorbis. I think there should be a list of Vorbis-supporting hardware right on vorbis.com. There are already a few non-PC devices that can play Vorbis (DP-450 DVD player, Zaurus, Palm), as well as

What's the current state of hardware support for Ogg Vorbis? Any decent players out there? I have an iRiver iHP-120 and am thinking about upgrading, any recommendations? Phil Hibbs.

I'm not a list subscriber, so please be sure to include my address explicitly in replies. I ask the list as I haven't found a solution elsewhere. I've been using (and quite happily) Ogg Vorbis for awhile now. I recently purchased an iRiver player that supports Ogg; however, I noticed it won't play certain files/albums. I believe it is because I encoded files prior to

There is an application that rips the radio stations in the game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and it produces ogg vorbis files. These files do not play on my iRiver iHP-120, it just skips on to the next track after about 1 second. I can provide an example file if someone would like to take a look and see what might be causing the problem. __________________________________________________ Phil

For the two or three of you who are subscribed to the mailing list that *haven't* heard already... from the blurb on Slashdot: "Xiph.org has made a beta release of firmware with Ogg Vorbis support for the Neuros portable music player. You can grab the firmware from the Neurosetta site. Note that this beta release only plays Vorbis files, and may skip on very high quality files, like

Hey, It seems that ogg/vorbis is being slowly forgotten.. It used to have really alot of attention from all around, and it was the "the" coolest thing ! Now people barely talk about it, most of them now talk about AAC and how superior it is both in low and high bitrates. I know that there have been discussions about vorbis 1.01 and 1.1, but as time passes by we hear no news. Yeah
