    All my tunes are in *ogg format. You'd expect a Linux player to handle oggs :S

  3. What about the software? by AtlanticCarbon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I have an i-river player. It's great except you need special software to access (as opposed to other players that are seen as removable storage). It's (the software that is) also not very good and I don't think there's a linux version.
