Re: portable music players
I ended up purchasing the sansa clip (2gb). I'm real happy with it, though I am still in the process of setting it my computer up. Part of the reason I like it so much is because I have not had any digital music player before and for $50 this makes stacking wood out back a whole lot more fun. When I was researching what I wanted I was seriously considering something that I could load rockbox onto, but when I looked at the rockbox site it looked to me like it is not possible to get a new player that will work. At best you could but the sansa e200 and take a gamble on the firmware version? Moot point now... Over the weekend I was only able to add songs to it in such a way that I the artist and album tags are lost (so I just loaded albums that would have been on one playlist) and it worked fine. Last night I upgraded the firmware, and I have found that I can load albums in .ogg format with the artist and album tags preserved. What I need to do for this to work is set the player to MSC mode. I think I will now find I can use playlists. One problem that I am having is that I can only see the player if I plug it in before I boot. I do not have this problem with my flash memory drive. Could anyone give me some tips on figuring this out? The thing is it will only recognize the player if is there when the machine boots. It will recognize the player in either MTP or MSC mode. If I unmount the drive and plug it back in, or if I plug the player in after I boor it will not be recognized. How do you manually boot a usb device??? I use Ubuntu hardy 8.04.

Speaking from a Mandriva perspective... (YMMV in other distros) Syncing an iPod in Mandriva 2008.1 is not plug-and-play, but isn't too difficult. RTFM and follow the directions and you'll be fine. Moving files back and forth IS trivial and Plug-and-Play if you use Amarok as your Linux side music player. For true simplicity, I like RCA's line of inexpensive mp3 players. They connect as simple USB drives and require no drivers in any OS. Sync is by your preferred method of file moving/copying/etc. I got one from Walmart a few years ago with an SD card slot and more recently for a (now amicably ex-)girlfriend. Both require no drivers.

Re: portable music players
I have an iPod nano, and I can't believe I fell for the iPod schtick again. In retrospect, I should have known: my fiancee has bought me a new iPod every year for the past four years. I have never had an Apple device that lasted more than 1 year before malfunctioning. My nano has set a new record by failing to allow me to access playlists, now 8 months in. Since the iPod won't let you just drag and drop music, I use Floola, which works great (at least for the first year); I found that Rhythmbox and Banshee worked fine at first but didn't prove compatible with all features. The kicker is, I bought my fiancee a version 1 Sandisk Sansa (version 2 only supports Microsoft formats) for Xmas last year. He immediately installed Rockbox; it works flawlessly and we expect it will continue to. He can just drag and drop, since like many other mp3 players it appears as a USB drive. As far as design and styling go, I find that the iPod user interface is slightly more intuitive and that my iPod was significantly thinner and somewhat sleeker. That is where the advantages end. The Sansa was slightly less expensive and, obviously, has proven a better value. Further, he can add memory to his Sansa by purchasing an inexpensive MSD card; my iPod is stuck at 4 GB, of which I can only use a portion without causing malfunction. Sadly, I think we'll have to wait for Christmastime before Sandisk comes out with a new model which might support non-Microsoft formats. -- Heidi A.
