== Introduction ==
Here you'll find all mobile players known to natively support [[Vorbis]].


On this page you'll find all mobile players known to support Ogg [[Vorbis]]. Some do also play FLAC (please add information).
When updating this information, please consider these guidelines: Use the term Vorbis not <strike>OGG</strike> ([[Ogg]] is the container format, Vorbis is the codec name). Add information about other Xiph-codecs such as Speex, FLAC, and Theora.  Do not add information about non-Xiph-codecs such as MP3, WMA, or WAV.


== Flash Memory Storage ==
This page contains a [[PortablePlayers#Portable Vorbis Native Support Table|handy overview table]] of recent portable players that play [[Ogg]] Vorbis files. Very detailed descriptions of these and many more players (old and new) are available on these sub-pages:


* [http://www.netonnet.se/item.asp?iid=61510 Avant] MP-8256, MP-8512, MP-81000
* [[PortablePlayers/Flash|Flash Memory Storage]]
:Looks like another whitebox label. No official website found yet, but three models are offered in shops: MP-8256 with 256MB memory, MP-8512 (512MB) and MP-81000 (1GB). Plays not only Ogg Vorbis, but [[MP3]], [[WMA]] and even BMP and Textfiles via small colour display. USB 2.0 interface. Sufficient quality in playback and recording (Radio/Line-In).

* [http://www.fuckinglovely.de/ Frontier Labs] NEXblack
@wiki-admins: It looks like this mediawiki instance does not support nice table cell templates (like in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BitTorrent_clients#Operating_system_support this example]). The support for this table related features would really improve this table layout.
:The NEXblack supports Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WMA and uses compact flash cards (or Microdrives) for storage.  Other features include an FM tuner, recording (FM and line-in), and USB 2.0. The display looks monochrome (white on black).  The Frontier Labs web site indicates this unit will ship at the end of June 2006.
 
* [http://www.gp2x.com/ Gamepark Holdings] GP2X
:Linux-based handheld audio/video/game player, supports MP3 and Ogg Vorbis. Uses SD cards for storage (sold separately).
 
* [http://eng.iaudio.com/ iAudio] U3, U2, G3, 5, G2
:The iAudio U2 is a small flash-based player (256MB/512MB/1GB) and supports Vorbis.  Early U2 releases required a firmware upgrade for Vorbis support; as of September 2005 this support was included in the retail version.  The iAudio G3 and iAudio 5 offer up to 2GB, and support Ogg Vorbis out-of-the-box. The G2 has storage from 256 MB up to 1 GB and supports the same formats. iAudio U3 is Cowon's newest flash-based player. It also supports FLAC and MPEG-4 video. All these players will talk to Linux or Mac (but the included software is Windows only. You'll need Windows for firmware updates.).
:The G3, and most likely the other models as well, supports Ogg Vorbis from q0. Quality settings q-1 and q-2 (from the aoTuV ogg encoder) are not supported. It supports the meta tags ''album'' (limited length) and ''title''.
 
* [http://www.ibead.co.kr/coding/eng/ i-BEAD] 170, 400, 600
:The i-BEAD 170 & 400 models are small, light flash-based players with built in Lithium-Polymer batteries. They also have OLED displays, and FM & line-in recording. Both are available in 256MB/512MB/1GB and both support Ogg Vorbis after a firmware upgrade. The i-BEAD 600 has up to 2 GB storage and is very small and supports Ogg Vorbis out of the box.  PLEASE NOTE: Ogg Vorbis files encoded using pre-1.0 versions of the encoder will not work with these players.
 
* [http://www.imedian.co.kr/ iMedian] M-Cody M-20, MX-100, 250, 400, 300, 500, 700
:According to the homepage, they support Ogg Vorbis (besides MP3, WMA (some devices w/ DRM), ASF, WAV). Some come with a FM Receiver, USB 2.0 and work even as IR remote. One has a OLED, the others have colour LCDs. Battery and memory is internal. I infer from a review that the MX-100 is the same as a Rio SU70, but I haven't found any information about that rio gadget, though.  The M-20 is the newest model, a thin portable in response to the iPod Shuffle.
 
* [http://www.iops.co.kr/enghome/index.html Iops] X7, Z5, Z3, F5, F4, MFP-312, MFP-325, MFP-350
:Newer players offer video and photo support (X7, Z5, F5).  Iops offers the MFP-300 series player with 128/256/512MB/1GB internal flash memory. They offer voice and FM radio recording whilst maintaining a lightweight portable size.
 
* [http://www.iriver.com/ iRiver's] iFP-3xx, iFP-5xx, iFP-7xx, iFP-8xx, iFP-9xx, iFP-10xx, iFP-11xx, T10, T20, T30, U10
:iRiver has a huge line of flash-based players with various memory sizes (128MB to 1GB). Some of these players may need an updated firmware in order to play Ogg Vorbis files, see the [http://www.iriver.com/support/download.asp support download page] for that. Note -- on older players, only certain bitrates are supported, various problems are reported including reboots, silence and random noise when a VBR Vorbis passes outside the limit (96-225 Kbps). Newer players don't have this limitation. However, please be alerted that many of the newer players use weird protocols like MTP so they only work with Windows. Please note that the newer H10 model does not (yet?) support ogg, and can operate in both MTP and UMS (mass storage) modes. See here for more information --> [http://easyh10.sourceforge.net/].
 
* [http://www.jensofsweden.com/ Jens Of Sweden's] MP-120, MP-130, MP-400, MP-450
:The MP-130 is a portable player with flash memory in 128/256/512MB sizes. This appears to be a rebranded Iops player. The MP-400 is a tiny machine with lots of features (line in, mic, fm radio, usb 2.0). With the updated 4.1 firmware it supports Ogg Vorbis files encoded with libvorbis version 1.0rc2 or later.  When trying to play files encoded with earlier versions it freezes on playback, requiring an USB connect or reset button pressed (through a tiny hole) to wake up again. The MP-120, a 1Gb flash player, supports Ogg-Vorbis with a firmware upgrade since March 2005. MP-120 still doesn't play old Ogg Vorbis files, but they don't make it freeze up. The MP-450 is basically a MP-400 with color display.

:These are flash-based players with 256 MB respectively 512 MB storage capacity. They have the usual FM radio which can be recorded in addition to voice. They also have a 1,9" color display.
 
* [http://www.lexar.com/mp3/index.html Lexar's] LDP-800
:Available from 03/2005 the LDP-800 is offering MP3, WMA and Ogg Vorbis Support with 256/512MB storage. It has a digital out, FM receiver and transmitter, can record from FM, mic and line-in and has a SD-card slot. Includes Sennheiser earbuds.  Update: A telephoned sales representative informed on 2005-04-15 that this player would be available sometime in June.  Update again: A sales representative telephoned on 2005-06-20 again stated that the player would be available sometime in June.  However, a sales representitave at [http://www.ecost.com/ eCOST], an online store carrying the LDP-800, stated that their availability date is now 2005-07-15. Lexar now seem to have dropped this product. See discussion.

: It's not yet on the homepage, but the Max-Diamond will be released in 03/2005 and supports MP3, Ogg Vorbis and WMA (DRM). It has 512MB flash memory and can record from FM radio. The Max-Movie has 1GB storage and supports DivX, MP3 WMA (DRM) and Ogg Vorbis. It also has FM radio and a display with 260.000 colors. The Max-Diablo supports the same audio formats, but can also display pictures and videos on its small OLED (4096 colors). It has 1GB storage.

It has small 200 mW built-in speaker. Inverted display with the ability to choose the foreground colour in 125 steps. Other features include FM-radio, voice recorder (built-in mic), line-in, alarm, and more.

* [http://eng.qoolqee.com/ Qoolqee's] K7
:This is an interesting mix of a flash-based MP3 player and an organizer: the player has 512/1024 MB storage and contact and calendar functions and can sync with Outlook. It supports MP3, WMA and Ogg Vorbis, has FM radio and connectors for two headphones.
 
* [http://www.samsung.com/Products/ Samsung] / [http://www.yepp.co.kr/ Yepp] (product label), YP-T6, YP-T7, YP-C1, YP-F1, YP-MT6, YP-53, YP-U1, UP-U2, YP-Z5
:The YP-T6 is an incredibly small flash player with 128/256/512/1024 MB storage, has a mic and FM radio and supports MP3, WMA (DRM) and Ogg Vorbis. The YP-T7 has either 512MB or 1GB capacity and supports the same audio formats, which also applies to the YP-F1. It can display JPEGs on its color display.  The YP-C1 has similar specs, including Ogg support; at the time of writing, it seems to be readily available only in Korea and China. The YP-53, a small flash player with 128/256/512/1024 MB storage, mic, USB 2.0 and FM radio, supports MP3, WAV, WMA(DRM), Ogg Vorbis(-q >= 0) with Firmware 1.200. The YP-U1 is a small (2,38 x 8,78 x 1,35 cm, ~32g) flash player with 128/256/512/1024/2048 MB storage. The player has a LCD b/w display and an integrated accumulator that is charged via USB. It supports USB2.0 and has an integrated USB-plug that can be flipped in and out, so no cable or adapter is needed. Besides OGG the YP-U1 supports MP3, ASF and WMA (and directory structures). The YP-Z5 is a player with color screen, 1/2/4 GB flash memory, USB 2.0 and MP3/WMA/ASF support. OGG is also supported (firmware version 1.06US), but not officially mentioned on the manufacturers website. The YP-U2 sold in the US does not support OGG playback at all, despite what the website claims. Flashing an international firmware for the YP-U2XB allows OGG playback on US models (it also turns the player into a USB drive, so that WM10 isn't required to transfer files over).

The M5 has 20 GB storage and supports the same formats. The X5 is similarly designed (storage sizes of 20GB, 30GB, 60GB) and can play MPEG-4 videos. It has a 1.8 inch LCD with 260,000 colors and USB OTG (On-The-Go) feature. The A2 is released in November 2005 and is a widescreen mobile video player. It has a 480 x 272 pixel screen and supports the above metioned set of audio, video and image formats. The tiny iAudio 6 features a 4 Gb 0.85" harddisk and supports both OGG and FLAC. The M3, M5, X5, and A2 (probably the 6 as well) all act as USB mass storage devices, which means they are supported by Linux and Mac. The software is windows-only, though.
:'''Comment tag support''' - The iaudio X5 supports the ''artist'' (limited length), ''album'', and ''title'' comment tags.

Latest revision as of 11:24, 25 June 2014

Here you'll find all mobile players known to natively support Vorbis.

When updating this information, please consider these guidelines: Use the term Vorbis not OGG (Ogg is the container format, Vorbis is the codec name). Add information about other Xiph-codecs such as Speex, FLAC, and Theora. Do not add information about non-Xiph-codecs such as MP3, WMA, or WAV.

This page contains a handy overview table of recent portable players that play Ogg Vorbis files. Very detailed descriptions of these and many more players (old and new) are available on these sub-pages:
