is anyone feeling kind enough today to recommend a good mp3/ogg player? ;)
The basic requirement is that it should be just a standard umass device,
so I could upload dirs with music files onto it, and then simply tell the
device to play all files in a certain directory, or make some playlists
and play them sequentially. None of that "synchronization" or id3-database
crap.
AFAIK, the only player that has more or less usable interface (the way I
described) is the Cowon, model X5L. However, it'd be interesting to know
if there are (or will be soon) any alternatives. Also, this player is not
available locally, so I'd appreciate if someone who used it for a while
could tell if they found anything bad about the device.

An iPod with RockBox firmware does a really nice job, and it is exactly how you described it:
- A umass device
- Interface has a "file browser" where you can select which folder/file to play
- id3-database is highly optional, and far from default.
- RockBox is Open-Source.

Besides, RockBox supports not just ogg and mp3, but also FLAC, and some others - I forget.

If you dont like iPods, then you can buy an Archos or iRivier portable player. Anyway, just check their website - rockbox.org
