People think I'm wierd because I use my MP3 player with real, full-size 
headphones that produce something which can be described as "sound quality".

My player holds only Ogg Vorbis files. Back when I got it, finding 
players which support Vorbis was quite hard... I don't know if that has 
changed now.

(Actually, the original firmware on mine kept crashing *far* too often, 
so I replaced it with RockBox. Apparently that lets you use any codec on 
any supported system, so...)

Also: "Ogg" is a container format, much like AVI. I'm not sure how it 
ended up that "Ogg" (a container format) came to mean "Vorbis" (a music 
codec that goes in an Ogg file). FLAC is called FLAC, Theora is called 
Theora, but Vorbis is called Ogg - even though all of these go in an Ogg 
file...
