Anyone notice the recent inclusion of vorbis support in redchair software's notmad explorer app? Anyone know/willing/care to elaborate if this may turn into support from Creative as well. After dealing w/ redchair for a while now, I don't see why they would include support for codecs that wouldn't be supported by creative...

Update:

Asked Red, says that they did it all on their own w/ nothing to do from Creative. =(

Yeah, I spotted that on Nomadness.

But has Vorbis support actually been included in the software?

All that they said was that version 7.1.2 "introduces tree-based options dialog navigation to accomodate upcoming new options. Does anyone like Ogg Vorbis?"

But there is no mention of Vorbis in the changelist.

The way I get it, Notmad's support for the OGG Vorbis format means that when you choose to send a .ogg file to your Nomad (via Notmad), Notmad automatically transcodes it (through a process apparently called "AudioMorph transcoding") to a format that's playable by the Nomad (MP3/WMA/whatever).

I don't own Notmad Explorer, so I'm not able to try this, but this is what I get from reading the respective pages (both at nomadness.net and redchairsoftware.com).
