A little over a year ago, I bought my best friend a SanDisk Sansa player from their e100 series (http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1073)-SanDisk_Sansa_e100_Series_MP3_Players.aspx). MSRP on the 512MB is 60$ and the 1GB is 90$. It comes with an FM radio tuner and an SD card slot for expansion. She loves hers. I bought it at one of the office stores (Office Depot or the now defunct Office Max) and it even had a rebate on it at the time. I can't guarentee it will work with Linux, but under Windows, it just comes up as a USB mass storage device (and off course, you could always preload SD cards with a supported Linux reader). Some very quick google's show that there has been success at least with the e200 series with automounters sticking them on /media/<device name> so it's likely that the e100 series is the same. -Shawn _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
