Default Re: OGG music

Support of .ogg in Chinese mp3/mp4 player can be the best new that an audio fan could have received!!!... Then sincere and enthusiastic thanks for the advice!!!
In fact, this little Chinese machines plays .ogg files (please don’t call them nanofakes). In music screen are shown as mp3, but in the sliding title is shown the correct extension .ogg. Then support in S1 mp3 player software is proved.
Ogg vorbis format delivers the same quality of mp3 in less space, which can be quite useful when if comes to be used in small memory devices.
According to sound experts ogg vorbis is a better music encoder than mp3, being both ogg and mp3 better than aac format, the standard of iPod machines.
More important is the fact that being an open source can be uses widely without the restriction of mp3 and of course the scandalous restrictions of music format of iPod machines.
So Chinese machines have the lack of the impressive marketing and support of iPod, but concerning to sound quality, with its ability of play ogg encoded music, surpass by far the expensive product of Apple, which is what audio fans really requires.
In this aspect there are two important consequences:
1. MyMPxPlayer.org is called to be an important support site for a wonderful machine with hidden capabilities but with an evident lack in marketing and support
2. Stop believing that the price you pay for an iPod assures you a good sound which is not true. The expensive Apple product only assures (probably) a good manufacturing quality, some support and a impressive marketing including a limited piece of software… but lots of restrictions and limitations in sound and fun.
Then forget about nanofakes… our Mp3/mp4 players is a better, less costly and lovely machines with a wonderful sound.
