The best chance you'll get an answer is probably from the Cowon
forums. I own a JetAudio M3, and it is extremely linux friendly.

My guess for the DRM: it supports playback of files with Windows Media
DRM (which, AFAIK, cannot be played on linux.) I don't know what the
Media Transfor Protocol is.
The Cowon iAudio in general has very good history that they can be
used as just a removable USB disk with the VFAT driver.
