Mainstream support for Windows 2000 ended twelve years ago.

Apple is selling a music player called "iPod" right now. Perhaps you've heard of it. Updated in 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Touch_(6th_generation)

Guess what iPods don't support? OGG.

Guess what iPods do support? MP3.

If you want to buy some shitty portable music player that can't handle proper open-source file formats, that's your choice. I've had a bunch of devices from all sorts of other, better manufacturers that ALL supported Oggs.

BTW, "Ogg" isn't an acronym.
