Sansa Stuffed...

I really like my SanDisk Sansa m250, or perhaps I should say that "I really liked it". For some reason it will power up, but just sits there at the Sansa splash screen and refuses to progress any further. Now I have to contact SanDisk to see whether I can return it to them for repair or replacement.

I have an Apple iPod mini that I don't use much because it depends on special software (either iTunes or gtkpod) to "bless" any MP3 files that I put on it. My friend Nigel took an alternative tack, installing Rockbox on the iPod itself. Although I have yet to find mention of it in the Rockbox manual, or on the Web site, people on IRC tell me that it can also play Ogg/Vorbis files, which would be a definite plus.
