I just noted that the Rhythmbox issue may be related to files that were
burned to a DVD then reloaded to the computer. I have about ten
folders, each with about 300 ogg files. The folders correspond to the
DVD they were burned to. When I start importing files from the top of
list down (these have been archived to a DVD, then reloaded to the
computer) I get to the files that were not burned to DVD and it hangs.
When I import from the bottom of the list (files that have not been
burned to DVD) Rhythmbox hangs immediately. I need to save those files
any ways.
CBR-MP3 seems to relate to iRiver, is that what you have? I read some
mixed reviews on that flash memory player, but they all have some
drawbacks. I guess I am just inquiring about other's experience. I
just want an inexpensive, flash player, that's easy to work with Linux:
FC4, FC5, or Ubuntu and runs on rechargeable batteries.
About file size...when I was playing songs on the computer 128 kbps was
fine for me and the Jornada (Windows Media Player) I used, shrunk them
even smaller. I play them through $10 ear buds so I imagine 96 kbps
would be fine. The software for this Jornada 540 series looks like it
was a garage job, 128 MB gets about 2 CDs, and it takes forever to load
(1.5 hrs.)
Let me know what you like, I need a solution, I'm tired of listening to
the radio!

Can't help much on the first part as I use Slimserver to manage
playlists and song playing in the house. It doesn't do other
media handling like importing, converting, or burning though.
For the Nano I'd look at even smaller file sizes unless you're
going to frequently clear it. If you're using the Nano with any
"less than $50" pair of headphones you may not catch differences
between 96/128/192Kbps. I presenty go with 128K CBR mp3 for my
portable but that only allows me 120 songs on my 512MB of
memory.
YMMV of course.

My neighbor says Rockbox is good for playing oggs on an iPod
Nano. I
will need to pair down file size to a 192 kbps equivalent.
Waste of
time: just maintain an MP3 file collection? Any one using
this stuff?
