mp3 players

[distortion]

does anyone know where i can find a list of supported mp3 players? and i mean hardware mp3 players, not software.

Then why would you be asking this in the Linux/UNIX forum? It should have been in the Lounge.

[Calum]

yes it should and no i don't, moving thread now...

As far as I know most of the rio's are, the samsung yepp series is, and the iPod is.

That's all I know.
But look one google and sourceforge lazy child....

do mp3 players have to be compatible with the OS?? or why is he asking for ones that are supported, unless he means your support for them.

[voidmain]

Duh, my bad, sorry about that! I misunderstood the question and it likely should stay in the Linux/UNIX forum. I assume he is asking what MP3 players can be interfaced with Linux although he didn't mention a particular OS. Thanks for straightening that out m0r!

Here's a couple of links (I don't have any experience with hardware MP3 players, found these  on Google):

Seems like there's some linux support for the Yepp
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yepp
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kal/sulu/

and for the Diamond Rio
http://rio500.sourceforge.net/

Just found these on Google typing "Yepp + linux" and "Rio + linux" - without the quotes, so I guess if you put your mind on a different mp3 player you could probably find drivers for it too using the same search method.
