Sansa Clip

A while ago I bought myself a Sansa Clip, 4 GByte MP3 player to replace my older 1 GBytes model.

It has some neat features, remembering playback point in podcasts, being able to charge from the USB port (no more AAA battery charging!).

But there is one important feature that I overlooked, it can play .ogg format files! This is a patent free open codec, that always struggled to get support alongside the dominant mp3 format.

I never thought I would see the day when this would happen, but I was really pleased - slightly annoyed with myself for not checking earlier, and I only found out by accident.
