I have a Samsung YEPP MT5 (1GB) that can play Vorbis, but it has some software 
problems. The thing is small, looking nice, and seems machanically robust. Another 
advantage is that it runs for 40 hours with one standard AA battery.

I know that the tRekstor iBeat Organix also can play Vorbis, and it got 100 out of 
100 points for audio quality. I never had listened to that however.

Those should be around $100; depends on your estimation of "low cost"...

iAudio probably is beyond your budget.
