Not too many devices out there support OGG in their native firmware. 

However, you can look at finding a older/cheaper device and running
rockbox on it. rockbox is a free replacement firmware that supports a
bunch of devices and will happily play oggs on all of them. 

see http://rockbox.org/ for a list of supported players.
