Ouch! Stop that.

Hmm, is that what that hammer means ? Heh. I've always seen it as the little guy pounding the gavel to claim attention, in a judge-like manner. It never occurred to me it might mean hitting your interlocutor, but it's an interesting suggestion.

Then listen to better music.

Touche, but you know very well what I mean, even if I may have expressed it poorly. What I meant, as I explained in my previous post, is that I got bored of the music I have on it, and I want to recycle it, i.e. to replace it with other music from my music colletion. Not because it's bad, but because I get bored of listening to the same thing for too long.

You managed to convince me that if you hit me with that hammer again I'm going to upload 20 GB of Milli Vanilli onto your MP3 player and lock you in the Backroom for a month. We'll see who has the tear in the corner of their eye then, eh?

Lol, did they even make that much music ? *shudders*

Nope. You just get the same song. Over and over and over and...

So I would need at least a 4GB player to hold my 25+ albums of Floyd?

And 4GB isn't even 4GB, I might need more? I hear there's an 8GB player out there. Sounds like a mighty fine idea.

Neat, really. An entire collection, forty years of music, all tucked away in something the size of a lighter. Cool!

I think it really depends, Beirut - mostly on what bitrate those MP3's are encoded at.
Just by eyeballing some samples (and I'm not even sure the same ripper, with the same parameters, was used to create all of them), 320kbps is gonna be more than double (in size) compared to 128kbps.
If you have variable rate MP3's (VBR), which aren't that uncommon, it gets even more complicated. So it's hard to estimate how much space it would take beforehand.

Xiahou, there's Ogg Drop for OS X, which allows playback of OV files. Not sure about what's available for WinXP, but a small application of Google-fu should find you something.

On my PC I just use Winamp with an ogg codec... my point, however, was that the flash-based iPods don't support ogg- which is why they weren't on the list of ogg supported players.
