Um. All my music is in Ogg format. My iPod Video plays it fine, thanks
to Rockbox. I don't give a damn about the patent stuff: the files are
slightly smaller for a given sound quality, and I make extensive use of
the ability to have arbitrary comment fields. Plus it's weird and
confuses people (never forget the Kafka factor).

(Unfortunately no iPod now on sale will run Rockbox thanks to Apple
deciding that using crypto to stop people customizing their players was
a great idea :((( )
