ipodder has intelligent options like only dl if nominated disk space is
available. Thus preventing dls completely filling up the disk, which occured
when I used bashpodder.
Itpodder has an internal scheduler whereas bashpodder needs crontab.
Ipodder can shrink to a taskbar icon or desktop icon,at least it does in
windowmaker.
The down side is ipodder uses python and thus requires much more memory and
processor grunt. It went like cold molasses on a p266 laptop, where it simply
flies on AMD 1.8mhz.
ipodder needs the gui, where as bashpodder can be run form command line.

My 2 key points are: 1. Ogg playback without too much messing around, that is, no need to re-sample to 44100hz or change to a specific bit-rate just to get the track to play on the device. 2. Plug and play in Linux. Thus needs to comply to the USB mass storage standard. Battery life is important 2, but meeting the first 2 points are my main concern. Looking for around the 512mb+ mark.

My original comments were made against my production systems which are running Fedora Core 4. My test environment running Fedora Core 5 gets it right. there's something wrong with your FC4 systems, then. OK, smarty, so where is FC 4 getting its data from if not from the hey, you were the one who said it was weird instead of just accepting the obvious. tzdata files, and I have demonstrated that they are correct...it knew to change the clock, but how...? no idea. something weird you've done to the config, perhaps? or, more likely, something weird in FC4 which has been fixed in FC5. some things to check: 1. your TZ environment variable. if it's set, try clearing it (with unset, not by making it equal to which would be equivalent to setting it to UTC). if it's set to something incorrect, then set it to the right timezone name. ...not set 2. is /etc/localtime pointing to the right timezone file? e.g. on my system, it is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne ...now you're cooking...well done...it's a file (and an old one), not a symlink. That's probably a hangover from when it was running FC3 or even FC2 - no, I'm wrong there - it appears to be a generic fault with Fedora Core, and is still perpetuated in FC5 - the /etc/localtime file is a copy from the original in /usr/share/zoneinfo instead of being a link, hard or soft. # ll /etc/localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 785 Dec 12 2004 /etc/localtime 3. reformat and install debian. you know you want to :-) ...I'm forget you made that threat :) craig -- Howard.

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but nowadays I leave it on random and the only thing I need to do is change volume or skip or replay a track, all of which are a simple button press, and it's easy to do it without looking. Everything else in the firmware sucks; no rating system, playlists are difficult to manage, finding a specific track to play is near impossible unless you group your tracks sensibly and use no filename longer than 10 characters (othrewise you are lagged by scroll delay to read the entire filename) and though I suspect that the unit writes last played data to the tracks themselves, no software I've found incorporates that information into its own databse to do favourites analysis. The iRiver H340 has its controls on the disk unit, and I haven't used it much so I can't comment on usability. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

If you don't want to pay for the license for support and updates, you can download the source rpms from Red hat and compile them yourself. Considering how many updates there have been for RHEL3 over the course of its release, it'd be easier just to pay for the license I reckon (pending how much money you have to spend of course).
