my 50ct is mostly running linux (debian sarge, though there is still a
win98se installation lying around). I don't use X for mp3 playing, just
text console and mp3blaster. But that takes most of the resources, doing
anything else creates clicks/white noise (even though I overclocked it
to 100MHz). Enough free memory will only decrease the frequency data is
read from hard disk.
they seem to playback the same under both systems
though.
digital music does not sound that good no matter how
you play it back.
I can't complain about the quality, if you don't use the internal
speaker :-). The only problem is the low signal on the
headphone/external out. It's enough to drive a headphone, but no good to
connect directly to a stereo. Therefore I use a little FM radio
transmitter connected to the headphone jack. Also avoids cables in the
car and I can put the libby anywhere my little kid can't play with it...
