FYI
I've done a fair amount of homework on MP3 players, and wanted one that would
work in Linux without any problems and that could play oggs. I got the iRiver
IHP-120, which I can recommend over the Creative Zen, iPod and Rio Karma for
these reasons:
No hokey proprietary DRM software required to load music
Appears as a standard USB storage device, load your music by copying files across
Works perfectly in Linux, no software or drivers required (just a modern
kernel with USB EHCI support)
20 GB storage device
FM tuner
Works for 15 hours on a Lithium battery
Plays oggs
Records up to 2 hours straight to wav or mp3 with internal microphone, mic-in
or line-in (great for ripping one's precious vinyl)
