[quote Sam3]Apple would need to add OGG and FLAC to the iPod for those formats to have any dent in the market. As long as no player supports them those are near useless formats. I've been wanting Apple to add OGG since the iPod came out, it can't be that difficult and it would add goodwill from a small, but growing market to Apple's iPod sales; the Linux market.
I believe all of COWON's players support Ogg and a fair share of the newer players also support FLAC. I love my iAudio G3. Not the smallest 1GB flash player, but the easy to change single AA battery is a pleasant change of pace from most digital audio players on the market. If I were buying a player today, I would want spport for Ogg, FLAC, WAV, and MP3. AAC spport would be nice, but not as essential unless eMusic started selling AAC files.
