I think most cheapo mp3 players are the same for Linux, they just come up as flash drives and you copy your mp3 files on. So your choice would be based on other considerations. This morning I bought a 1GB player in Tesco. Wish I'd waited until Argos was open. Got home, got the package open, then found the "Fast Forward" button wouldn't work. So I was going to bring it back after work. Except that I got rained on, and the thing got saturated, which surely made any warranty void. Now it's permanently fast-forwarding. I've taken it apart to dry out, maybe it'll work better then. Frank

My Samsung Yepp works as a USB device - and plays ogg files. No special software required, I use mc to copy files across to it etc. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~

Anything that can run http://www.rockbox.org/, dunno if they're the cheapo ones though. -- Geoff

There is software to make use of these as well, but a USB storage one is much simpler in my opinion. -- Ben. |
