I have an Ogg player... I want some more though (2009)
I have an Ogg Player now. Finally. The one I plumped for is the Samsung U3 — a 2gb unit about the size of a packet of gum. My wife and I both got one in fact — $40 a pop from Fry’s electronics.

Apparently there is a way to flash it with some older firmware that switches it over to UMS, but you need a Windows XP machine
