does a commercial ogg-enabled "mp3-player" exist?

I have one and I wouldn't recommend it. It is all beautiful and
promising on paper, but fact the network thing with the docking station
doesn't work in most case, and when it does, you have to use a
PROPRIETARY JAVA APP to put files on it. Besides, there is currently no
way to put music on it through the usb cable under linux for IT ISN'T
RECOGNIZED AS AN USB MASS STORAGE. 

What's more, the scrolling wheel broke after 6 months, so I've sent it
back to the vendor.

Something to know, too: there is a jack for a remote control like those
sony did for their MiniDisks players, but it isn't enabled in the
firmware, and Rio has announced that they had no more intention to
enable it. (It probably hasn't been coded yet, and they don't want to
spend money in it.) As it is not hyper-thin, that's quite a shame.

Clearly to avoid if you're using a distribution of linux...
