Vorbis - Apr 2004 - FLAC, ogg and iRiver

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"
and so on - what does this mean - FLAC looks quite cool, but if I can just use a
high bit rate ogg then it seems unnecessary on a portable device

Thanks, Tom

It's one year old and an aprils fool. A cruel one.
