12:47 PM EST 		Now all I need is someone to release an .ogg player for my car in the US.

t-b-b-c: Your little media player, that does .ogg with bluetooth to the car system?

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.

5:06 PM EST 		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.

I also figured out how to get mencoder to generate videos for it, too.
