Since recently I have some extra money in my pocket, I'm interested in buying some sort of portable music player. My criteria are these: 1) MUST play both MP3 and OGG formats, since I have a substantial amount of both, and no current physical access to my source material in order to re-rip to one or the other... 2) Should be small and lightweight -- my main use will be to enhance my jogging experiences 3) 128MB of RAM is ideal. I can live with 64MB. More than 128MB is not necessary, and probably a waste of my money. 4) Ideally, it should interface easily with Linux. I have USB, ieee1394, and smart-card interfaces available. Unfortunately the USB is only USB1, but the device should ideally do USB2 for when I upgrade. 5) Price and battery life are considerations. So, if you have any experiences or suggestions, I'm interested to hear about them. Links to reviews are also welcome. Of course I will do my own research concurrently, as well. Note that I am NOT interested in car audio systems at this time. Presently I have no car, and no need for a car, and thus no need for a car audio system... =8^) TABIA! -- Derek D.
