I ended up with an Iriver T30. It's like 59.95 at Sears on a 50% off (I think the retail was about 119.95). It's a gig, with decent battery life, very small, but still usable. It's not as easy as expected to sync it with linux. It uses a microsoft protocol. There is a way to flash the bios in the device to make it look just like a USB mass storage device, play ogg files, etc. But that flashing process requires Windows. I don't have windows. But the device does play ogg files out of the box. Oddly enough, if I plug it in, konqueror upens it up and I can see the files. I just can't write to the device (drop files on the "folder" representing the USB device). So, the preferred method (at least for me), involving amarok and connecting right to the media player (absent some Ruby scripts?) is not possible. The workaround is to use front-ends from libmtp (somewhere on sourceforge SVN) and use commands like 'mtp-connect --sendfile" from the command line. It works well enough. > > - Uses AAA or AA batteries, preferably 2. aaa x1. > Reid -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
