So, I'll do some trolling around eBay.Geeks.com have some cheapie players, here's one for $26 which says it works with linux: <http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BLK-MP3-1GB&cat=MP3> Disclaimer: I have no experience with this particular unit, but i have purchased other cheap players at geeks.com in the past which were OK. dt
Also at geeks.com is: 512MB SP-Advance USB2.0 MP4/MP3/Voice Digital Player 1" LCD http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=SP-MP363A-0062&cpc=RECOMDoes anyone have any experience with this player. It is a few dollars more than the one mentioned above, and only has 512MB, but it plays ogg files and mp4 video, as well as displaying jpeg files. I doesn't say that it works with linux, but it also does not specify Windows (or any other OS). Its requirements only mention a USB port and a CD-ROM drive. It also does not say that it operates as a mass storage device, but... So does anyone know, for sure, if it will "just work" on a linux box?
