Hi all,
I hope to get to a SLUG meeting sometime soon.
I am looking for a new mp3/ogg player and was wondering what everyone
is using.
My 2 key points are:
- 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.
- 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.
Thanks all.

David Ward

I downloaded skype:

My wife's twin is in the US, her father in the UK. Skype on
SuSE32 is perfect. Sooo the bit that is hung out is the shiny
new AMD64 :-(:-(
I got stuck that way for a bit - getting all the family on Skype and
then Skype seemed to get worse and worse. Anyway, gradually
transferred everyone over to Gizmo - an easy change for Windows
people and easy to connect to via Ekiga. Worth the effort to break
away from closed source & Closed system.
I've been looking at their site. There is talk of 'open' but where?
EG my brother runs SuSE9.3. No rpm for 9.3. How to build it?
I don't think I made myself clear. I wouldn't use the Gizmo client on
Linux. The point is that since it is a standard SIP protocol you can
use any standard SIP softphone. I use Ekiga, but I know that a lot of
people like the Xten phone. The Gizmo client is for your relos that use
Windows. (I know, there is a Gizmo client for Linux, but I don't like
it much).
Ekiga is nice because it can register to multiple services. I use Free
World Dialup to ring toll free numbers, Gizmo to talk to relatives and
to make cheap calls to the US, and a number of other providers for
special purposes.
You can sign up to a Gizmo account without using their software.
