Or encode your own! :) It can also play WMA. Or there is also an OGG player.

i find ripping my CDs with windows media player to WMA format is quite useful, and they play nicely on the axim

- I hope you got a decent storage card because the axim cant hold more then maybe 3-7 songs at most

I use OGG format... I had a 3rd party do some blind hearing tests and we both confirm that OGG at 64kb/s was better than MP3 at 96kb/s or 128kb/s.. Probably doesn't apply for ALL songs.. But it's my format of choice for PPC.

OGG is an excelent format for some songs, and WMA's variable bitrate is also excelent for others. Both have relatively small file sizes so either will be good on the axim.

I am eager to use OGG but the OGG codec on my computer is having some serious issues, I have been too lazy to reinstall it, but I am going to and give it a try, it seems very promising :D

Just one question, what programs on the axim can play them?
