It’s pretty obvious if you are selling a small capacity flash player that people will use small ogg’s as opposed to larger MP3 files so as to get the maximum amount of music on the player so I’d be quite upset at SanDisk if this problem turns out to be with the actual firmware.

Not necessarily. A sizable portion of the public wouldn’t know what an ogg was if it bit them on the foot.
The sound quality of these Sansas has led many people on the opposite end of the spectrum to use FLAC or Q10 ogg files on theirs, in search of the “ultimate” sound. These people would not consider 128kbps mp3, or 64kbps ogg or wma, to be acceptable at all. I couldn’t fit my entire 42GB library on an 8GB+16GB Clip+ or Fuze, and that is only 5,594 tracks, with an average bitrate of 224kbps.
When producing a device such as this, a company has to try to take into account what different users will want from it, and for the most part, Sansa has done a pretty good job, IMO. :smiley:
