Vorbis - Jun 2004 - iRiver iFP-790 and its Ogg Vorbis support

Does anyone have the iRiver iFP-790 player (or maybe any other one of their
iFP-7xx series)?

I bought this player very recently, and I have been having problems with Ogg
Vorbis playback. It skips so much that you only hear music 20% of the time.

Is my unit defective or does the player really have problems with ogg vorbis? I
think mine even chokes on wma's encoded at standard settings.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It might have the bitrate limitations.  What quality did you use to
encode those files and does the bitrate jump wildly up and down?
