-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello vorbis, I know that hipzip/Dadio support was planned - does anyone have any idea what the status of this is due to iomega's discontinuing of the Hipzip product line? Is there any way we can add ogg support to our hipzip's in the future if Interactive Objects adds it to Dadio ? - -- Best regards, Brendan mailto:reaper@post1.com ==== [place .sig here] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBPFN6fGTEJfkS6tEjEQK+tgCgn5tFcUuPiNXp98St8idmgfuIFaIAoLRa PakvcaxAZag4vz8j6xi3pvxN =tpAc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- <p><p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

I was looking to buying one, but had bad experiences with everything marked Iomega in the past, and didn't want to depend on a nonstandard storage format (the 40 MB cartridges). I guess this news puts the last nail in the coffin of such an idea. The need for a portable Vorbis player remains strong, anyway. Preferably one with a 20 GB hard disk inside. ;^) <p> -- "MP3 the king is a mighty warrior, but he's showing new wounds. Ogg [Vorbis] is the successor to the throne ...

The need for a portable Vorbis player remains strong, anyway. Preferably one with a 20 GB hard disk inside. ;^) Perhaps there is someone who is mad enough and has enough free time to write their own firmware patch to add Ogg Vorbis capabilities to some existing piece of hardware. I noticed that Frontier Labs provides unencrypted and presumably unsigned firmware for the NEX II audio player, so in principle you could do a bit of reverse engineering and patch it. A possible problem with that device is that it uses the TMS320C54x DSP. Mad hackers with lots of free time probably don't have a compiler for that processor. But if you had an ARM-based device ...

That would possibly be a way of making the Vorbis format "mass market" so to speak. And the iPod is pretty decent anyway...
