[vorbis] stupid cd player mod question

[David Demers]

>From what I understand (limited as that is) you probably wont be able to modify anything you currently have to do so. The cd player would need to have a vorbis decoder built in to it. Perhaps if the CD player had the ability to play mp3's and had some built in firmware update capability (I don't know of one that does that) you might be able to get the company (or someone whith access to their propriatary code) to compile a firmware update to include the capability. But thats about as likely as it sounds.
 
Most likely there WILL be a manufacture somewhere in the next few years to produce a vorbis player, so waiting for that is likely your best option. You might be able to help by sending emails off to major manufacturers requesting just that. If they don't hear alot of noise wanting it, they'll never do it.

<p>Hi, really stupid question here:
 
1) not bothered how possible it is
2) not bothered how legal it is
3) not bothered how much it costs
 
question: how would i go about modifiying my stereo cd player (whatever model) to be able to play vorbis files on CD/CD-R/CD-RW ?
