MP3 Player from B&O

Has anybody bought this? Ever even thought about buying this? Only 128 MB of storage. It does come with the A8 headphones but still....never realized how expensive these things were.

I had it, it's crap as it doesn't have a display. Best thing about them was the headphones.

I had those headphones, but since I wear glasses, they were not very comfortable. I usually use the standard iPod headphones, or the Bose QC II while flying.

That 1,5GB Rio is kinda cool, and the angry-looking, engorged nipple on top is...strangely captivating.

Is that a serial port on the back of the B&O?

I'm thinking of getting this RIO: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...124553&loc=111

It's 20Gb and plays OGG files...

I am the last person to question when something is "too" much. It is with deep regret that I have to say that I don't think I can manage more than a couple hundred songs for a portable device. 5000 songs? way out of my league trying to manage that many songs on a portable device. I think 1 GIG would satisfy my needs even at about a 190 KB/stream. The OGG standard does seem very interesting.

Would OGG work on a CLIE? If it does, it's time to dust that baby off and charge it up!
