wow! i must say vorbis deprecates mp3! lol. although, i had to use the "OSS/3d for XMMS" plugin on my sblive value w/ 4 point sound to get a proper base. On my other box with a diff card, bass is just fine. however, are there any h/w players for vorbis files? the faq only states one manufacturer called iObjects but i see no portable players! Basically, i want to player vorbis files thru my car cassette stereo some how. The only method i see currently (affordable) is to use a laptop and use a mini to rca (or whatever) to the line-in on the radio (maybe). There is a cassette mp3 player on the market currently but it states only mp3 (afaik). <p> -- Roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The Zaurus is a PDA and not just a music player, so it's overkill for most people unless you already wanted a PDA. And at $500, it's not for the thin of wallet. --- Stan Seibert <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.

At my work we have this tiny credit card sized 386 board, it has an expansion bus, and one of the expanson modules the electronics people have come up with is an mp3 board. The 386 takes compact flash disks, and just sends mp3 data to the mp3 board. The board has an mp3-decoder chip. You send it mp3 frames, it outputs audio. I think the device is very nifty, with the mp3 board attached it takes up about the space of two matchboxes. OF course since the mp3 player chip is expecting mp3 frames, it can't decode ogg. I think that is why most hardware players are mp3 only, there are a few cheap mp3-decoder on a chip type devices around now, and very few that decode it in software using a "real" cpu. ----- Original Message ----- From: Moz <lists@moz.co.nz> Date: Monday, July 15, 2002 12:30 pm Subject: RE: [vorbis] wow! and what about h/w players for vorbis files?> > yup. i agree with dan. haven'tresearched the facts, but most> have a > > laptop already. it's just not asportable as some of the h/w mp3> > players. > > What I've been doing is converting myogg's to 64kbit mono mp3 for> my Diva mp3 player, which gives me about9 hours music on a 256MB> compact flash card, at acceptable qualityfor cheap headphones.
