iRiver released some firmware updates today for many of their CD and Flash-based MP3 players. Among the added features is the ability to play back Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio files. Interestingly, in order to make room for the decoders, they also _removed_ the ability to play back Windows Media Audio. It's unfortunate that they had to take out some capability, but I'd prefer Ogg to wma any day. I've tested the new 3.00 firmware on my iMP-350, and Vorbis files play like a charm. Seeking in FLAC files is a bit sluggish, so hopefully that will be improved in future releases.
