>From what I understand (limited as that is) you probably wont be able to
modify anything you currently have to do so. The cd player would need to have a
vorbis decoder built in to it. Perhaps if the CD player had the ability to play
mp3's and had some built in firmware update capability (I don't know of
one that does that) you might be able to get the company (or someone whith
access to their propriatary code) to compile a firmware update to include the
capability. But thats about as likely as it sounds.

Most likely there WILL be a manufacture somewhere in the next few years to
produce a vorbis player, so waiting for that is likely your best option. You
might be able to help by sending emails off to major manufacturers requesting
just that. If they don't hear alot of noise wanting it, they'll never do
it.

Hi, really stupid question here:

1) not bothered how possible it is
2) not bothered how legal it is
3) not bothered how much it costs

question: how would i go about modifiying my stereo cd player (whatever model)
to be able to play vorbis files on CD/CD-R/CD-RW ?
