Anything by Cowon or iRiver will just work. I've got a Cowon iAudio m3: 40GB disk, plays Ogg Vorbis, AAC, FLAC, MP3. USB 2.0 as a usb mass storage guy. There's a few ugly features about it but it's pretty robust and plays music :) My boss had an iRiver H340, again a 40GB disk, does all the above and also acts as a USB 2.0 host so you could plug in other devices and copy data to it (i.e. photos) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
