Hi everyone,
if you haven't read it already,

is the transcript of a very interesting speech Richard Stallman gave at MIT. Definitely worth reading.

And there is a _LINK_ to download this in ogg-vorbis format.
I saw it _after_ reading it. - I don't know why some people think they have to put such an important information in the last line of a page.
btw: Is there a MP3 player out there which supports ogg-vorbis? Would be interesting.

You mean portable players? I don't think so.

They're coming though. HipZip owners will soon be able to do it, apparently, and there's supposed to be a company bringing out a native ogg player.
Cheers,

I suppose you mean a portable (hardware) player since there's many software players that support mp3 and Ogg/Vorbis.
This is what I saw on the mailing list (though I have no experience with Ogg/Vorbis in hardware myself):
: Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 14:32:51 -0800 : From: xiphmont@xiph.org (Monty) : : > Has any hardware manufacturer announced support for Ogg? : : Iomega is about to do so. I have and alpha version of a Vorbis : software update for their HipZip players. If you have a HipZip, I'll : send it to you :-)
: Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 05:16:12 -0800 : From: Jack Moffitt jack@icecast.org : : The Xiph.org team is also proud to announce that Ogg Vorbis is now : available in portable hardware form. Interactive Objects, Inc. has announced : the Dadio 2.0 operating system with Ogg Vorbis support. This will ensure that : many upcoming audio hardware devices support Vorbis playback. "iObjects is : happy to be the first to provide high-quality Ogg Vorbis playback for portable : devices. This development increases freedom of choice for portable users," : said Mark Phillips, CTO of Interactive Objects, Inc..
