I guess you could install the ogg plugin for iTunes
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/
and then convert your ogg files to mp3. Apple already paid fraunhofer
their mp3 encoder license so might as well make use of it. For those who
don't know, every mp3 encoder pays a license to Fraunhofer-Gesellshaft
who has a patent on the technology. This is one of the driving reasons
behind folks who go for ogg format, besides some claimed measure of
better quality.

So if patents last 20 years then mp3 is locked up until 2016.

Pity it doesn't support ogg vorbis or I'd be tempted to buy one. Anybody
hear what the sound chip in these sounds like? I was not impressed with
the last generation as compared to some other players. Still might be worth
supporting the effort though.
