I use my Tungsten E for listening to music. Aeroplayer scans the card
only when you change it and even then it is very quick. I've got 2 1Gb
cards. And all of my music is in Ogg Vorbis format. The only downside to
the Palm is the lack of battery performance. Because of that I've kinda
got my eye on one of the Samsung players that handles Ogg Vorbis. Might
pick one up before a I go on a road trip this year.
