I've been thinking of getting a portable music player, maybe an iRiver T30. Does anyone know how well it works with Linux? Is there anything else I should know about it? I picked it because it's cheap and supports Ogg Vorbis.
Any thoughts or anecdotes would be appreciated,
i'll check mine, the model number doesn't ring a bell,but i have this to say: - you need a special driver to copy file to/from, a pain, since you can't thus also use it to be at any friends place and copy data or music - i also like the OGG advertisement with mine, but the one i tried didn't work! they also like to advertise that you can update the firmware, so that new things be added (e.g. make OGG work ???) - mine has problems with dynamic range, at high volume i tend to hear rotten sounds. Although i've read wonderful things about mine, i've been disappointed with my particular model, an iFP-899 (1GB). The T30 is claimed to be only XP compatible, not Mac or Linux peter
