How would we get Ogg Vorbis adopted? (was Re: playogg-discuss Digest, Vol 13, Issue 2)

[Niklas Cholmkvist]

Hi,

1. We need at least one Ogg Vorbis Portable Audio Player
1. I think we have something.

I have that something :) and it is called Sandisk Sansa Clip 2GB. 40
euro. It plays ogg vorbis and I charge it by connecting it through usb
to my computer. Bought one for a friend which repeatedly told me to buy
one, because my friend wanted one too.

2. We need a place people can buy it

I live in Thessaloniki, Greece. I bought it from www.e-shop.gr .
Virtually anyone who lives in a 'big city' can order and get one.

4. We need a Music Store that offers it in Ogg Vorbis format

I don't. I enjoy all the free cultural works at jamendo.com and with
this link you can get all the free cultural works listed:
http://www.jamendo.com/en/albums?order=ratingweek_desc&tag_idstr=&location_country=all&license_minrights_c=on&license_minrights_d=on

If you want all legally downloadable works then even more will show up
because there are countless of artists who license their music non-free
as cc-by-nc-sa.

Kind regards,

Niklas

Practically all Chinese media players support OGG.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1_MP3_player - the most cheap ones, based on
Action chip.
More expensive portable media players (but very cheap in comparison with
'huge brand' players), based on Rockchip and China Chip are also have full
support for FLAC in addition to OGG and others formats.
