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.
Almost all mp3 player use the mass-storage protocol to connect through the pc usb, thus any operative system are good. As far as I know there isn't any linux software to manage music and playlists directly on the player, so it is better to choose one which has a comfortable interface (I mean, browsing songs to choose what you want to listen).
Also, vorbis support can be a nice-to-have.
The iRiver devices used to support ogg-vorbis, and, from memory so did my Sandisk 4Gb player. Just about any non-i device should work with Linux these days. Andrew
