New ogg/vorbis compatible portable music player

I finally received my new 2gb i.Beat organix without FM receiver. It costed about 85 EUR, but it is worth the money because it plays (most) ogg/vorbis files properly. I was have been for an ogg/vorbis compatible player for some time, but all I found was the iriver players which were far too expensive for me. I was really glad when I found the i.Beat organix, but I had to wait for about 4 weeks to get it delivered from amazon, and the black version which I would have loved was not available, so I finally ordered the silver version.

Sound quality is quite good, and I like the menu very much. The player registers as mass storage which makes it easy to copy files to it without installing any software.

I really like the product, but there are some minor drawbacks too:

• The first song I tried to play crashed the player software. At the first moment I thought “What a crap! All the good  test reports can’t be right.” The display did not change any more, and the only method to get out of this hanging was to press the reset button for which you need a paper clip. I deleted the album from the player and since then I had no problem with any other file. I already contacted Trekstor support, let’s see what they say.
• The firmware updates can only be installed from a Windows PC.

Anyway, I think I will be having a lot of fun with my new little buddy which will carry all the heavy things I fetched from Jamendo and Librivox.
