I know this isn't quite what you want, but if you're looking for an MP3
player and an external hard disk, I would get an Archos Recorder 20.  It
plays MP3s, connects through USB 2.0, and looks like a hard drive.  It
also has open source firmware and can encode MP3s from a microphone,
SPDIF input, or analog stereo input.

Mine works flawlessly (well, USB 1.0 because I'm not running a devel
kernel) under Debian.

Happy to help,
