iRock 530 MP3 Player and Debian?
I am running Sarge with a 2.6.7 kernel.
Hotplug is installed on the box.
I have just placed a bid on an iRock 530 MP3 player and am wondering if
anyone has any experience with this particular player and Debian. I
found a 2 1/2 year old post on www.linuxquestions.org that suggests that
it should be mountable as a mass storage device (under Mandrake) so I
don't imagine that I should have difficulty, (check dmesg for the device
and mount it) but it would be nice to be sure. I can always use the
laptop which dual boots to Win98SE, IF I HAVE TO, but I would rather
not. Another option, in a pinch, is to get a USB multicard reader and a
SD card, since the player has a card slot. All in all, I know that I
can make use of the player, but workarounds are still workarounds and it
would be much simpler to plug the cable into a USB port and mount the
device.
