Hi,

I'm using a Samsung YEPP 6 for some time, but I recently got surprised: It seems 
that listening to Ogg (=Vorbis) empties the batteries much faster than listening 
to MP3. Both files have about the same bit rate. I did not make electrical 
measurements, but I think things are as they seem to be.

Did anybody make similar experience? Or maybe "required CPU cycles to decode" 
statistics? It would be great if Vorbis needed less power than MP3...

Regards,U
Ulrich
