(It's one of the elite gadgets that can play Ogg Vorbis files, too, which was an important consideration). Whether it will be 'mounted' automatically depends on your system settings (and how reliable auto-mounting is for you). I think all USB2 devices are backwards-compatible to older USB specifications, but I'd look at the paperwork that comes with with the gadget, or look at the maker's website for information, to make sure. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~

It's just a matter of plugging it into a USB port and it shows on the desktop (GNOME/KDE). Automounts and works without any issues. But hey, they even put the text 'Works with Linux (kernel 2.4 and later)' on the package (which was _one_ of the reasons I bought it in the first place). As far as the player can be regarded as a removable (standard) hard drive you'll have little problem. -- Jon Solberg (remove "nospam" from email address). |
