Mp3/ogg portable player
Good day, Just wondered what peple would consider the best deal up to about $150? I don't any of the 30GB models. Size I'd say up to 10GB would suffice for ym needs. Many thanks, Matt PS Using 92, will be 10.1 once Amazon ship it.

The Cowon iAudio X5 is a little over your price range, but it plays ogg and is supposed to play nicely with Linux. http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/x5/

Well, ours is smaller than that but the 512MB Samsung understands OGG and plays nicely. However, it's fairly easy to work out what will work well with Linux. Anything that presents as a mass-storage device will work. Anything that doesn't do that won't. It's easy to tell the difference - if you can drag and drop image files onto the device, it's mass storage. And they always plug that feature if it's available.

Samsung YP-U1. Was pretty cheap and mounts as a normal drive in /media when connected. Plays mp3 and ogg (possibly other formats, too) nicely. John -- John Pettigrew http://john.pettigrew.org.uk/ http://john.pettigrew.org.uk/blog/

Where did you buy it? how much?
Amazon marketplace, and it was GBP 45, IIRC. That is, the player was listed on Amazon but bought from someone offering it for sale through Amazon's "Marketplace" links. HTH John -- John Pettigrew Web - http://john.pettigrew.org.uk/ Blog - http://john.pettigrew.org.uk/blog/
