Flaws in the iPod

I'm a big fan of the iPod, they keep getting smaller and smaller, and better and better, with new features, technologies and more aesthetic designs.
My first pet peeve though, is no quick access to shuffle, repeat all and repeat one controls. In my iPod at least, I have to go all the way back to the Settings menu and then enable/disable shuffle and choose whether I want repeat all/one/off. How I would do it, is simply add access to them by clicking the middle button while playing a song. I wonder why no one thought of this at Apple?!
My other pet peeve, is NO EFFING OGG SUPPORT! I can never understand why they don't want to add OGG support? There are no licensing fees on OGG since it is released under the BSD license, and the format offers great quality and efficient compression. Apple has no excuse in not supporting OGG! I EFFING HATE MP3, not as much as RM but I still do!

Are they enough for me to not get an iPod, HELL NO! So Apple, you don't really have to fix anything, I'll continue buying your hardware..
