I am looking for recommendations for a portable mp3 player that will work with Linux. Basicly I hope it appears as a USB drive so one can simply copy the music to and from the player.

Find someone who is throwing out their 2-3 year old mobile phone? They generally make quite good MP3 players, even if the underlying hardware and operating system is too old for modern apps. And if you remove the SIM card and turn off wifi, the battery life is amazing. (I had my Xperia Z in "dumb" mode (no data, no wifi) and was using it to play MP3s for 5+ hours a day while camping, and it lasted a week!)
