The Solution

Hello, I am currently running a T10 *woot woot* and I have the same OGG incompatability problem.

When you access your device via Windows Explorer (Do not use Windows Media Player... it is quite honestly a piece of **** , thanks Bill) I assume you will have folders named "Data" and "Media".

In "Media" on my t10 w/ latest (1.63) firmware I have the folders: "RECORD", "VOICE", "Service", and some random XML file o_O (I imagine some of you have a Music folder - more on that to come ). So I decided to cause mayhem and anarchy and I deleted ALL OF THEM! MWAHAHA... k back to topic... The iRiver automatically re-created these folders -_-". I was thwarted.

So... then I decided to try the "Data" folder I referenced previously. I stuck a 43 Kb/s bitrate OGG in there, booted my little wonder up and.... MUSIC!! wonderful OGG Vorbis-encoded tunes spewed forth like frothing magic. I did an Irish jig and settled down to play with my device a little more (the T10, that is... O_O"). I made a Music folder in the data folder for my... music...*redundant comments ftl! >_<*.

ARGH! --> You need to create these folders outside of the device's window and drag and drop them since the T10, at least, lacks the ability to move files and folders from one section of memory to another.

Upon booting up again the device defaulted to my created Music folder and it's contents.

NOTES: I have not tried all bitrates, but I know for sure 96 kb/s is NOT the limit ^^. GL, HF, & STAY SANE,

EDIT: I have just successfully played a variable bitrate 14kb/s @ 8000Hz... 4:50 song in 486Kb ^^ (Didn't sound great - quality relative to an old-fashioned record player, but that's not the moral of the story :P)
