Talk:PortablePlayers

There are many more portable players by TrekStor than the i.beat 500 supporting ogg vorbis.

I would like to know which Players can record in OGG?! -- 217.186.150.213 17:03, 26 Dec 2004 (PST)

Pretec Allegro, not playing Oggs?

I recently purchased a Pretec Allegro, but have been unable to get it to play Oggs. I have yet to find out what the problem is, the booklet clearly states "File support: MP3/WMA/OGG". Another bit of feedback: there is a high-pitched whistle while the backlight is turned on. --Hugo

Any player with SD-Cards

Every single ogg-capable portable player out there seems to come with built-in flash memory. Which is stupid, because I don't want to fire up my computer and plug in the player every time I get tired of the tracks on my player. Plus flash memory has a limited lifetime (write cycles) and so does your player with built-in memory. The same applies for built-in rechargable batteries.

Now when would you ever need to buy your second device without any moving parts if you could just change flash memory and batteries? Ok, that's the industrie's point of view but not mine. I want to go on vacation with music and batteries for one week of non-stop music - without a power source or computer nearby.

So, any hint to where I might find a portable audio player that can play back ogg vorbis files and uses SD flash cards (and preferably AAA-batteries) would be greatly appreciated.
