portable mp3 player

Fellow linux users,
Anyone know a portable mp3 player that works with windows and linux without requiring hacking? I don't mind if I have to manually mount it on linux, but the players I've seen require hacks or reformatting tricks or firmware updates, or have trouble playing files transferred from one OS or the other depending on how the drive has been (re)formatted. I'm just looking for something simple, no need for radio, video, or the like. Thanks for any suggestions, Stuart Endo-Streeter ___________________________ Stuart Endo-Streeter Structural Biology and Biophysics Dept.

Hi,
I am using a Samsung YP-P2, works fine with Gnomad2. However, I think you need in addition libmtp (I am running Ubuntu 8.04, if this is important).

My kids have iPods, and repurchase music we already (legally) own because I haven't had the time or energy or an iPod of my own to mess with the compatibility issue. If iPods can play oggs transparently, I'd seriously consider getting one; until then, not. Not for religious reasons, for practical ones. Ogg tends to be a better format (for one thing) and once you rip into it with unencumbered tools, you lose resolution popping from ogg to mp3 or vice versa. rgb > > Brian > > On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 10:02 AM, Stuart Endo-Streeter > <stuart.endostreeter@...> wrote: > Fellow linux users, > > Anyone know a portable mp3 player that works with windows and > linux without requiring hacking?

There is however a couple opensource firmwares that you can throw on an ipod as well as other devices to get different features, such as ogg support. I run rockbox (http://www.rockbox.org/) on my ipod and it works fairly well. It also turns it into a dumb storage device. I just copy my music to a folder like I'm using a flash drive and the player finds it. You don't have to use gtkpod or something else to write back all the crazy metadata mess that the ipod normally look fors and it doesn't put the files in obscure folders with bewildering names either. Only downfall I have found is rockbox seems to slaughter my battery life. Off the top of my head, the only two players that I can remember that *may* natively play OGGs are the Sansa's and the iRivers. Looks like http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/PortablePlayers has a list.

I believe that the new Android-based G1 phones also play ogg natively- not sure about that, though. They also are (apparently) automatically picked up by most gnome-y music tools as an audio player. Not sure how much storage you get, though, and obviously you may not want a phone to go along with the audio player :) Luis _______________________________________________ Dulug mailing list Dulug@... https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/dulug |

I already own a couple of small irivers; their problem is that the song playing interface on the device sucks -- a low "usability" score -- and the fact that one has to maintain special tools to move data on and off (at least when I used them, they're lying pretty fallow at the moment). I'm guessing that if you load alternative firmware onto the iPod you trash Apple's version? Or is it a sort of plug in? rgb > > Good luck in your hunt > > Dustin Minnich > Nicholas IT > 613-8148 > > > Robert G.
