Re: Mp3, Ogg Players on 5.3

You might want to also take a look at the Neuros (www.neurosaudio.com),
I haven't had any problems playing ogg files on mine and some people have
posted to the sites forums about having gotten it to work under Linux and
FreeBSD, though I haven't gotten around to trying to set mine up yet.

I don't have a iRiver player, but was looking into getting one.  There
are two versions of their firmware--the one it ships with which allows
you to use its music manager software (which, btw, isn't available for
BSD anyway) and there is the UMS firmware, which makes the device
appear as a thumb drive to the operating system with the FAT file
system.

You can get the drivers and info on them here:

As I understand it (I welcome correction!), iRiver are the only ones whose
player does Ogg out the box. Unfortunately, it does not act as a umass
device and so requires the funky Windows drivers. See review (disclaimer,

Mp3, Ogg Players on 5.3

2004-11-30 Thread Huw Wynn-Jones
Hello,

I'm thinking about buying a portable ogg player for xmas but i can't 
seem to get clear info from the various shop sites.

Does anyone know a player which works with FreeBSD 5.3? Can I just buy 
anyone I want and then transfer files across as if it were usb 
storage or do these players have special transfer software? I've seen 
that most of the players only come with windows software, so I don't 
want to be stuck with a player that won't talk to my os.

Thanks

Huw
