In short, it's not. I reripped my CDs into multiple formats: Ogg for my computer, and MP3 for my iPod, although now I'm starting to rerip it all to AAC. Of course, after I go out and by an iPod, several Ogg-compatible hard drive players are announced, including the iRiver and a Rio unit. Oh well. The iPod is still very nice, and its integration with iTunes is very convenient.

I'm still in the dark as to why Apple doesn't support OGG. Its a free open standard right? It wouldn't cost them any lic fees to implement it. Am I missing something here?
