Unfortunately, though, all this means is that it will automatically transcode OGG into MP3 (or maybe AAC). You could do this yourself, but transcoding is a really bad option for music. MP3s lose certain parts of a file, and OGGs lose different parts, so when you transcode you'll end up losing a lot of information and it won't sound very good.

Looks like a good feature if you keep your music in FLAC or something, though - no need to keep a separate set of files for your portable player.

Or you could just get a Karma, which supports both Ogg and FLAC on the player ;-)
