you could always get an mp3 player that plays cd's of mp3s, they've become very cheap ( the rio mp3 player is under $100). I just got a compaq (i hate compaq :) ) that plays 8cm cd's of mp3s, it holds aroudn 40-50 songs and i don't have to worry about linux support, I just buy small 8 cm for $.50 a piece and burn them with cdrecord, no probs at all. I never got my rio pmp300 to work correctly
