suggestions for an mp3 player?

Written by jlgaddis on July 15, 2006 – 5:46 pm -

I’m looking for a new MP3 player. More specifically, I’m looking for something in the neighborhood of 1 GB that isn’t too small (I lose small things easily) and — most importantly — shows up as a mass storage device under Linux.

While I do have a subscription to the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service, I don’t really use it. I’m not interested in putting music on the MP3 player. What I do want to do, however, is put podcasts on it. I’m using Liferea on Fedora Core 5 to download the podcasts for me. It’d be nice to simply plug in the USB MP3 player and issue a “cp” to copy all the downloaded podcasts over, then disconnect it. I’m not interested in using Windows to do this so the mass storage route is the easiest to go.

I’m open to any suggestions and hearing of other’s experiences. Thanks!
