Now all I need is someone to release an .ogg player for my car in the US. |

Hope it works. We have left TV behind and get everything from the internets now.
More content and more ways to get it, perfect. t-b-b-c: Your little media player, that does .ogg with bluetooth to the car system? |

I would like an indash player for my car, preferably that will play off an SD card or at least USB. I know they have a few varieties around Europe but everytime I search still nothing here in the US. Have a separate player just seems like too much hassle, but that may be what I have to do when it comes time to get a radio for the old del Sol. As much fun as road noise is, sometimes 50 miles of it gets a little old, some tunes would be nice. |

I just use a Zvue 250 (~$80 at Wal-Mart(tm), as I recall), which I bought specifically for the Ogg Vorbis support. (The ability to handle XVid video was a bonus). Attach it to my car stereo with an adapter and away I go. |

I just listen to Triple J... No ads, great rock and mostly new stuff, or ABC Classics... No ads, great Classical Music. |

DrDubious, that does look neat, a bit cheaper than the Cowons as well. Does it play while plugged in? I have been thinking of getting an amplifier and just hook a portable player to that directly, so if I could play the player while plugged in I won't have to worry about the battery. |

As I've taken the device on some pretty long drives, I can say for certain that it does, indeed, continue to play while charging. I've actually been surprisingly pleased by this little device. I also figured out how to get mencoder to generate videos for it, too. |

I have Sony in-dash 1U car stereo. It has bluetooth and a line-in and USB port on the front. It doesn't play OGG from CD or USB but you can hook your (OGG supporting) media player to it using bluetooth ot the line-in. It works great. |
