I'm a Linux person, and most of my digital audio is in OggVorbis format. Are there any iPod-like devices out there that can play .ogg files?

I use an iRiver H300. I use thise because it does play ogg files. I have had it for about 2 years and I love it. Samsung has been known to make ogg players as well. Just search newegg for some. I am a GNU/Linux person as well. I solely use ogg. The iPod is a paperweight and I havent found any other good players other than my iRiver. But again, from what I hear samsung makes some good ones as well. It should mount as a regular HD.

IPOD, archos, Iriver, and several other mp3-player devices can play any type of .OGG (along with AAC, MP3, etc.) with software called "Rockbox" you can install on them.
Download the software at http://www.rockbox.org/
Also, I'm glad to see I'm not the only person around who uses formats other than AAC(MP4), WMA, MP3....personally I think OGG beats them all (including most variations of the AAC format except AAC-HE/AAC-PLUS for low bitrate files)
