	There's so many formats using the Ogg container that not making clear that Ogg != Vorbis will only cause problems and confusion.

			== YP-T10 ==

			From http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32395 (you can download sample files there to hear the problems on you own T10 or maybe other Yepp)

			I've found some decoding problems on this device like there used to be on the Cowon iAudio D2.

			It seems that for some songs with heavy bass notes when encoded as Ogg Vorbis, playback has this extra high hat sound on it, but the MP3 doesn't. The Ogg Vorbis files plays back fine on the PC.

			If I use an mp3 or an aac (m4a) file, I don't hear it at all. I also don't hear it when playing it from my PC using Foobar or Winamp.

			The main thing I can hear is once the track gets going, in-between the beats I hear a high hat-like sound. Note however that I can't hear this noise when I play the exact same file in WinAMP or foobar (or as an mp3 on the T10)... it's sending me crazy! I also checked playback using the original CD on a pro quality CD player's headphone output (CDJ200), and couldn't hear it.

			I think there is a problem with the Ogg Vorbis decoder on the T10, and have emailed Samsung Australia support about it.

			The ogg files were encoded using foobar/OggEnc v2.85 (libvorbis 1.2.0 [aoTuVb5.5]). My firmware is v3.06.

	I just bought another player, a refurb 2gb, sticker says YP-U2JQB. I went to the Hong Kong English web site and picked the model YP-U2ZB and downloaded the 2.165 firmware and it installed fine and it's in English. I subsequently went back and downloaded the 2.215 firmware and installed that over the 2.165 and that works fine as well. The only issue with installing the 2.215 firmware is that I didn't have to put the unit into recovery to start the process; but after an inordinate long time of repeating start to end green progress bar display, it looks like the unit put itself into recovery mode and then the install completed. I thought it was in a loop and I was afraid to interrupt it and just let it run. You may want to place the unit into recovery mode before executing the upgrade software. If you are upgrading from the standard US firmware, you will have to put the unit into recovery anyway. BTW, while I did the firmware on an XP, the drive is easily recognized on Win 2000 after the upgrade.		I just bought another player, a refurb 2gb, sticker says YP-U2JQB.

	Dave Platt wrote about the UP-Y3: bought one in September 2007. So far it has played my Vorbis files flawlessly - I've used -q3 (averaging around 100kbit/second) and -q6 (192kbit/second nominal). Track switching is not gapless but is only a couple of tenths of a second. The US version is MTP rather than UMS, so I had to download and install libmtp and Amarok and tweak my Linux udev configuration to be able to see and access the device. Vorbis tags are correctly displayed during playback, and Amarok correctly extracts the tag information and feeds it to the YP-U3 for indexing purposes when the tracks are downloaded. Doesn't seem to be possible to re-flash it with the "universal" international firmware (odd-numbered versions) which are UMS-based. I've read reports which suggest that the UMS versions will display Vorbis tags during playback but won't extract them from the files for indexing purposes, which would make the player harder to use with Vorbis tracks!
