I use a Sansa Clip with both Mac v10.5 and Linux. It's a pretty good little device, since it supports both Ogg Vorbis and FLAC (only 24-bit, 2-channel, though; not sure about the sample rates). I can't speak to the whole integration thing, since I usually just put it in mass-storage mode, and drag-and-drop files onto it. I play with the file tags more than playlists, and since the Clip uses Genre and Artist tags for dynamic menus, etc., that's been more useful to me. It can read M3U playlists, and I've played with them before, but there were some issues with the paths, path separators, etc. I've done it, but I was using regex inside vim to get it done. I'm sure there's a more elegant solution that uses Amarok or something. Media hasn't been my biggest priority, I guess.
