I know you said you want an FM receiver but I just thought I'd throw my weight behind the ipod anyway. I have a mini and it works perfectly under linux. Just about every media player out there supports it now. Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, etc. can all read and write the ipod database. GTKpod works really well also. I haven't used itunes more than once since I bought it two years ago.
