I agree that the Audio player is very inferior to OggPlay but like most people I have a lot (7600 last time I checked) of Mp3s, so I use Unreal Player for those & I use OggPlay for all my Oggs which I've encoded myself from my own CD collection. |

MP3/OGG is one aspect of the P800 I've yet to try - tonight's the night however, and I've just downloaded some ripper software to try out some CDs of my own.
Now the missus can have the MD player by the pool, andI'll have the phone....BTW - it *is* insured!!

@Steve,
My Advice:
-Get dbPowerAmp inc Ogg Codec
-Rip a bunch of your cds using a variable bit rate averaging 64-80kps (make sure you tag them properly)
-Get OggPlay! V0.9
-Get a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm Stereo adapter (www.pc-mobile.net are good guys- check 'em out)
-Get yourself a decent pair of headphones. Sennheiser make some really nice ones (I have 2 pairs)
-Get a 128mb Duo
-Put ur Oggs onto your Duo using a Memory Stick reader (you'll fit 4 or 5 albums)
-Listen to a couple of hours of high quality music! |

@Bogus Jimmy
-Got dbPowerAmp inc Ogg Codec
-Gonna rip a bunch of my cds, using as you suggest a variable bit rate averaging 64-80kps
-Got OggPlay! V0.9
-Will try the above out first, and will then go get a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm Stereo adapter (from www.pc-mobile.net)
-Got a decent pair of headphones
-If I'm happy with OGG player, I'll definitely go get a 128mb Duo, and a stick reader (a mixed one for reading my CF cards)
But...
"-Listen to a couple of hours of high quality music!"
...is that all I'll get off one charge?
Cheers,
Steven.

I just said that without really thinking. If your 4 albums total 3 or 4 hours of music then you would be able to listen to them all twice quite easily from one charge.
Your welcome.

Get oggplay 0.91 instead. It got some bug fixes regarding the sound.

Talking about headphones, the SE ones that came with the phone had blown within weeks, and were OK but not brilliant. My wife put them through the wash as well which probably killed them!!
I just kept the bit from the socket up to the handsfree module, opened it up and soldered in a pair of similar Sennheiser in ear phones.
Quite a difficult job to do, but with a couple of burned fingers I now have a FANTASTIC sounding set of phones and I can still use the handsfree bit that came with the phone. They are Sennheiser MX400 and cost £10 from Maplins. If used with the foam bits the bass is astounding and the treble sharp and clear on 64Kb/s Ogg files. Far better than the ones supplied with the phone.
Best personal stereo I've ever had.

another fix for the headphone problem is to get an adater
there is a headphone adapter that someone is selling on ebay  you can then use normal headphones |

Hi - OGG player .91 wotsit - I love it.
Spent the evening seeing how many tracks I could fit on the 16MB MSD. Not many, but it was good experience just to see how the different RIP rates faired vs. each other. The phone sounds great, doesn't it!
128MSd's here we come!
Steven.
